A California Highway Patrol officer fatally shoots a man walking on a freeway, prompting an investigation
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — State authorities were investigating Monday after a California Highway Patrol officer shot and killed a man over the weekend in the middle of a Los Angeles area freeway during a struggle recorded on video. Sunday afternoon’s deadly encounter occurred after the highway patrol responded to multiple calls of a male pedestrian walking in westbound lanes of Interstate 105 in south LA County, the agency said in a statement. “We don’t know what kind of threat this officer perceived.” Highway patrol officers aren’t required to wear body cameras, but the agency uses in-car cameras. State Sen. Steven Bradford, Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson and Councilmember Tim McOsker, who represent the area where the shooting occurred, released a joint statement calling for transparency by the highway patrol.
