How they died
Deadly force
CHP officers attempted to pull over a suspected DUI driver. Officers reportedly terminated the pursuit a few minutes later. Roughly an hour later, a sheriff's office deputy saw the car again driving erratically on Highway 28 and attempted to pull him over. The male driver refused to stop, and a chase began. CHP officers eventually stopped the car with spike strips on Highway 89. The driver got out of the car, holding his female passenger hostage at gunpoint, and walked away. Reportedly fearing for the safety and lives of the hostage and people inside the home where he was headed, officers shot and killed him.
