(CBS/KCOY) SANTA MARIA, Calif. - A Santa Maria police officer was shot and killed by a fellow policeman as he was about to be arrested, authorities said.

According to CBS affiliate KCOY, the officer shot was the subject of an international criminal investigation for allegations of sexual misconduct against a 17-year-old girl.

The officer killed was 29-year-old Albert Covarrubias Jr. Santa Maria police officer Matthew Kline fired the deadly shot Saturday morning.

Police say Kline was attempting to arrest Covarrubias on suspicion of illegal sex with a minor. Covarrubias resisted and fired his gun before Kline fatally shot him once in the chest at a DUI checkpoint where he had been on duty.

"He chose to resist," Police Chief Danny R. Macagni said. "He drew his weapon. A fight ensued. He fired his weapon. And one of my officers that was there also discharged his weapon, and the officer was fatally wounded."

Covarrubias was rushed to Marian Medical Center for emergency surgery and later pronounced dead from his injuries.

The Los Angeles Times reports detectives believed Covarrubias knew he was under investigation. Police say witnesses were being intimidated, and that the public would be at risk if the officer was not arrested before he left his shift Saturday.

"The information that we had in hand demanded that we not let him leave that scene, get in a car, drive somewhere. It would put the public at risk if he did," Macagni said. "We just did not know what was going to happen. And we did not expect him to react the way he did."

In the days prior to the shooting, the investigation into the officer's sexual misconduct was unfolding. Information was discovered during the time Covarrubias was on duty and it was very explicit, very specific, and it demanded immediate action, Macagni said.

By 1 a.m. Saturday, detectives had enough information to arrest the officer, who would have been booked on multiple felony counts.

Covarrubias' father said his son was a "beautiful person" and asked whether he was arrested in the streets in an attempt to ridicule him.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department is investigating the shooting.

SANTA MARIA, Calif. — A police officer under investigation for sexual misconduct with a teenage minor was shot and killed while on duty by fellow officers Saturday as they tried to arrest him on California’s central coast, authorities said.

The officer was manning a DUI checkpoint when the shooting occurred shortly after 1 a.m. He was declared dead after emergency surgery at Marian Medical Center, Santa Maria police Chief Danny Macagni said in a statement.

The officer, a four-year Santa Maria department veteran, had just learned of the internal investigation of an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, and it became necessary to arrest him immediately, Macagni said.

“We had no choice,” Macagni said in video of an afternoon news conference posted by KCOY-TV. He said investigators had evidence “that demanded that we go out and take this officer off the street immediately.”

Supervising officers were sent to make a felony arrest, but he struggled with them when they arrived, first putting up a physical fight, then firing his gun but hitting no one, Macagni said.

“He chose to resist, he drew his weapon, a fight ensued, he fired his weapon,” the chief said.

Several officers came to help the police making the arrest, and one of them shot the suspected officer in the chest once, Macagni said.

Detectives had begun investigating the alleged relationship on Thursday night, and minutes before the shooting had confirmed that an “inappropriate” and “very explicit” relationship had been going on, Macagni said.

He said he could not give details because of the sensitivity of the investigation, but “there was some witness intimidation involved” and the arrest couldn’t wait for a more proper time or place.

“The information that we had in hand demanded that we not let him leave that scene, get in a car, drive somewhere, it would put the public at risk,” Macagni said at the news conference. “We just did not know what was going to happen, we did not expect him to react the way that he did.”

Macagni said police had expressed condolences to the officer’s family.

The officer who fired the fatal shot, an eight-year department veteran, has been placed on administrative leave, and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department was investigating the shooting, Macagni said.

The name of the officer killed has not been released because some family members were still being notified, and the name of the officer who fired the shot was withheld while the incident was under investigation, police said.

Santa Maria is a city of some 100,000 people about 60 miles northwest of Santa Barbara and 160 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

美警察开枪拒捕被击毙 涉与少女有不正当性关系

来源： 京华时报



28日，美国加利福尼亚州圣玛丽亚市一名警察涉嫌与少女有不正当性关系，开枪拒捕，遭同事射杀。

　　圣玛丽亚警察局局长丹尼·马卡尼说，28日凌晨1时刚过，警方前往一处醉酒驾车检查站，试图逮捕这名正在执勤的涉嫌警察。

　　嫌疑人起初与警方人员打斗，继而掏枪射击，没有打中任何人。多名警察赶来增援，其中一人开枪击中嫌疑人胸部，后者伤重身亡。

　　警方26日启动调查，确认嫌疑人与一名17岁少女有“不正当”、“赤裸裸”的性关系并且“恐吓目击者”。

　　马卡尼说，警方不能等待更合适的时间和地点，确认他与少女有性关系后仅数分钟，就出动警察逮捕嫌疑人。“从掌握的信息看，我们不能让他离开那里并驾车到别的地方。如果那样，公众安全将受威胁。我们别无选择……必须立即出动，把这名警察带离街头。”

　　他说，警方没料到嫌疑人会开枪拒捕，已向嫌疑人的亲属表示哀悼。

　　警方正调查射杀事件，致死嫌疑人的警察已停职。

Firstly, NBG doesn't carry his personal issue with him 24/7. Secondly, your revolver will be taken away from you at time of arrest.

Obviously that is when the shooting will begin - when you want to disarm the person - at his last chance.
