The California sheriff's deputy who launched a citywide manhunt for the sniper who shot him in his own station's parking lot made up the entire incident.
The California sheriff's deputy who launched an expensive, citywide manhunt for the sniper who shot him in his own station's parking lot made up the entire incident, police said late Saturday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department immediately mobilized a large-scale operation to look for the suspect, even flying in a helicopter with a police sniper patrolling the skies.The 21-year-old Reinosa met with sheriff's department investigators on Saturday and confessed. The district attorney's office will be responsible for determining any charges against Reinosa, but Wagner said they"could start with false report of an emergency."
"There were several things that were curious," Wegener said."There was no ballistic evidence in the parking lot at all. No bullet was recovered. ... There were many things that didn't add up."
