A woman was fatally shot by police Wednesday after she plowed a pickup into an El Cajon police sergeant on a walkway outside department headquarters, authorities said.
A black Toyota Tundra is crashed outside the El Cajon Police Department as part of an officer-involved shooting on Wednesday.
Although it initially appeared the sergeant had suffered a broken arm, he was taken to a hospital and cleared by medical staff who determined the 25-year department veteran had sustained minor injuries. The sergeant and a lieutenant were on the walkway, in full uniform as they discussed logistics for a ceremony outside the station for a captain whose retirement party was set for that afternoon.
He said the sergeant and lieutenant “appeared to recognize that the truck was doing something strange — and then out of nowhere, the truck veered directly toward the officers.” The truck came to a rest in a bush-covered embankment alongside the police station. The pickup remained there hours later, with visible bullet holes, broken windows and blinking hazard lights.
