A heavily armed active-duty Air Force staff sergeant who was arrested in the “ambush” killing of a sheriff’s deputy in California was detained by a resident who batted away his guns and a pipe bomb—holding the suspect until police arrived, authorities say.
When officers found the van, the driver took off. Authorities followed it to a driveway in the remote community of Ben Lomond, in unincorporated in Santa Cruz county. There, Hart said, Carrillo ambushed the officers before fleeing the scene.
By then, other neighbors had arrived and were able to hold the suspect until authorities arrived. Video footage from the scene showed two men holding him on the ground. An assault rifle could be seen nearby. "It was remarkable, remarkable, heroic thing that resident did," Hart said, adding that he would award him a commendation.Carrillo is the team leader of a specialized Air Force unit in the 60th Security Forces Squadron. He was stationed at Travis Air Force Base, northeast of the San Francisco Bay Area, in June 2018.
