CHP Shoots & Kills Suspected Drunk Driver

Early Tuesday morning, California Highway Patrol officers made a routine traffic stop that ended with deadly results. Around 12:15 a.m., officers stopped a gold Mercedes near 7th Street at South Westmoreland when the driver exited the vehicle per instructions given. But as the man got out, he allegedly produced a hand gun, prompting officers to shoot him more than once "in self defense," ultimately killing him.

This incident comes on the heels of a Sunday morning officer involved shooting in Inglewood where one unarmed man was killed by police.
