On or about August 30th 2017, a routine stolen car operation being conducted by a joint California Higgeay Patrol and Sacramento Sheriff's department went awry. One of the suspects was armed with an AR 15 or AK 47, which he took and fired through a hotel door, hitting two CHP officers, wounding them seriously. The gunman then took the balcony to escape firing off a bullet at one of the Sheriffs, killing him almost instantly. The suspect jumped into a waiting car, sped off, was shot, crashed, and is now hospitalized in critical condition. This is the wrecked car. His cohort was caught nearby the collision.
