CHP officer slaying highlights routine risk facing road patrol - Inside Bay Area


"The Youngstrom shooting is a tragic example of how even the seemingly most random and mundane stop can suddenly, horribly, turn violent. The Contra Costa County-based officer had stopped his patrol car to tend to a dead deer on the roadside Tuesday morning in the southbound lanes of Interstate 680 in Alamo, just south of Walnut Creek. His partner radioed to tell him that he was approaching the same area to pull over a Jeep Wrangler for having an obscured license plate.

The Jeep stopped a few feet behind Youngstrom's parked cruiser. Youngstrom walked up to the driver's side of the Jeep and briefly spoke with driver Christopher Boone Lacy, who then pulled out a handgun and shot the officer in the head."

Police work is like that, hours of little activity then suddenly you face a dramatic situation. Happens repeatedly, and I appreciate their willingness to accept those risks.

Terrible tragedy though.
