Sup Shift

The first call I responded to as a field supervisor was an "officer invovled shooting" on the 105 freeway. If you live in LA and drive that freeway every morning, then you were certainly affected by this incident yesterday morning.
Apparently an off-duty sheriff's deputy and another driver got into it on the streets of LA...with the driver trying to ram the officer, and the officer trying to do the "pit" manuever on the driver. After unsuccessful attempts to stop the driver from trying to ram him, both men pulled over. The driver apparently pulled a knife and rushed the deputy who informed the driver of who he was and instructed him to drop the knife. The driver refused to comply and was subsequently shot multiple times by the deputy. The driver was transported to a nearby hospital. The deputy was uninjured in the incident
