San Diego police officer killed in shootout UPDATED
San Diego police officer killed in apartment shootout identified as 17-year veteran
October 28, 2010 | 10:20 am
The San Diego police officer killed in an apartment shootout was identified Thursday as Christopher Wilson, a 17-year veteran.
Wilson was killed Wednesday night in the Skyline neighborhood, where five suspects were holed up in an apartment. Two of the suspects were killed and three were arrested.
A U.S. marshal and county probation officers accompanied by San Diego police officers went to the apartment building Wednesday night to serve a warrant for probation violation.
Police had recognized a person inside the apartment as a suspect in a case of assault with a deadly weapon, according to Acting Assistant Police Chief Jim Collins of the San Diego Police Department.
As authorities entered the apartment, the five suspects barricaded themselves in a back bedroom and exchanged gunfire with the officers, wounding Wilson.
The officers scrambled out of the apartment, and Wilson was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
A SWAT team was assembled, and hours later, using tear gas and a flash-bang grenade, officers stormed the apartment, exchanging gunfire with the people inside, officials said.
Once inside, police found a man and woman in a back bedroom, both dead and carrying handguns.
It was unclear how they were killed. Three others were arrested.
A Belgian Malinois police dog was treated at a veterinary hospital and expected to return to duty soon.
