The man who authorities say engaged officers in a violent gun battle during a traffic stop off the 215 Freeway in Riverside, killing one California Highway Patrol officer and wounding two others, was identified Tuesday as 49-year-old Aaron Luther.
A shooting near the 215 Freeway in Riverside County involving the CHP Monday evening left one officer and the gunman dead. Motorists recount dodging bullets.It was not immediately clear where Luther was heading when he was stopped. While Moye was filling out paperwork, the man got a rifle from his truck and started shooting at the officer, Parker said.
Moye returned fire, and even though he had been shot, he was able to radio for help. Three other CHP officers soon arrived, followed by three deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and at least one officer from the Riverside Police Department, authorities said. “This incident shows just how dangerous the job of California Highway Patrol and law enforcement is in general,” Dance said Tuesday. “People talk about routine stops, but there are no routine stops, as this incident proves.”
