CORNING, CA.<br />
CHP officer shot, cruiser destroyed after man tries to<br />
flee traffic stop.<br />
By Jake Hutchison,<br />
Chico Enterprise-Record<br />
CORNING, CA. — A traffic stop<br />
on Interstate 5 took a violent<br />
turn Sunday when a man shot a<br />
California Highway Patrol officer,<br />
took his patrol vehicle, then<br />
crashed it.<br />
Upon investigating a vehicle<br />
stopped at around <strong>11</strong>:40 a.m.<br />
near the Chard Avenue overpass<br />
in Corning, a CHP officer ended<br />
up in a gunfight. The officer sustained<br />
injuries as a result of the<br />
shooting, CHP said.<br />
The suspect proceeded to enter<br />
the patrol vehicle and head<br />
southbound on I-5. Continuing<br />
southbound, the vehicle eventually<br />
collided with a semi-truck,<br />
which caused both vehicles to<br />
head off the west shoulder and<br />
ultimately overturn.<br />
Law enforcement officers arrived<br />
at the scene and arrested<br />
the suspect, whose name has<br />
not yet been released, without<br />
further incident. The officer,<br />
the driver of the semi and the<br />
suspect were all taken to local<br />

hospitals with injuries.<br />
Because of the incident, CHP<br />
closed two lanes of I-5 at Chard<br />
Avenue and further south at<br />
Thomes Creek.<br />
CHP said there are ongoing<br />
investigations regarding this incident,<br />
with the Tehama County<br />
Sheriff’s Office taking the lead,<br />
and that additional information<br />
will eventually be released regarding<br />
this incident.<br />
TEHAMA COUNTY FIRE STATION 9<br />
Our thoughts and prayers are<br />
with our CHP family. The CHP<br />
officer who was struck by gunfire<br />
is expected to survive. The<br />
suspect was taken into custody<br />
by local law enforcement after<br />
shooting one CHP officer and<br />
stealing his patrol vehicle, then<br />
wrecking it on I-5 into a semi<br />
truck. The patrol vehicle caught<br />
on fire after the suspect exited.<br />
The suspect later died from his<br />
injuries.<br />
We are a small community,<br />
and when one hurts, we all hurt.<br />
We are thankful for swift action<br />
of our law enforcement partners<br />
to quickly apprehend the person<br />
who chose violence over reason.<br />
