Authorities say police in Escondido have shot and killed a man who fired a gun at them during a chase
Police in Escondido shot and killed a man Friday after he fired a gun at them during a chase, authorities said. The man, believed to be 48 years old, died at a hospital after the shooting that occurred shortly before 7 a.m. His name wasn't immediately released. Police in the San Diego County city were sent to a mobile home park after a report that someone was sleeping on a porch, according to San Diego police, who are investigating the shooting under a countywide agreement.
Two officers heading to the scene were then told the man was pushing a motorcycle through the park. They stopped him and learned he had an arrest warrant out of Indiana for a parole violation, police said. As the officers tried to detain him, the man ran off and at one point reached into his waistband, pulled a gun and fired several shots at them, police said. Both officers fired back, hitting the man at least once. He fell, rolled over and pointed the gun again.
