This story took place a few weeks ago in San Diego. Now that the story has developed(cops tried to keep it lowkey), it is now a hot debate...and the off duty cop seems to be getting special treatment.This off duty cop is at home on payed leave of absence...+2 weeks of police investigation and they claim "There is no official victim as of yet".
The gist of the story:
-Typical road rage incident, one party cuts off the other.
-Off duty cop follows mother and her 8 year old son to a parking lot
-Off duty cop pulls up next to car(side by side) and both parties verbally argue.
-Off duty cop pulls out handgun and fires in to passenger side vehicle where 8 year child is struck in the knee
-Mother puts the car in reverse to get away.
-Off duty cop steps out the vehicle and proceeds to unload 4 more rounds in to the windshield
-Mother is shot twice in the arm
-Off duty cop claims self defense and his life was endanger
-Drug and alcohol test performed on mother but not on officer..WTF?
-Two weeks, and no charges have been filed.
