LASD Sergeant Dies After Being Shot
2016-10-07
[ABC7] A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sergeant died after being shot during a deputy-involved shooting in Lancaster, authorities said.

The department identified him as Steve Owen, 53, a 29-year veteran of the department who had spent the last five years at the Lancaster Station.

Owen and another deputy had responded to a burglary call around noon in the 3200 block of West Avenue J7, sheriff's officials said. The area was contained and during the containment gunfire was heard in the back of the location.

The deputy at the front of the complex ran in the direction of the gunfire and found Owen suffering from a gunshot wound. The suspect then fled the area on foot, ran to the front of the home and attempted to steal Owen's patrol car, according to authorities.

The suspect put the car into reverse, ramming the second patrol car, which resulted in a second deputy-involved shooting, authorities said.

Authorities said the suspect then fled from the area on foot and ran into another home with two teens inside. Special Enforcement Bureau officers were able to get the teens safely out of the home before the suspect was taken into custody.

Capt. Steven Katz said the suspect, who is on active parole, may have suffered a gunshot wound to his upper body and was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment. A weapon was also recovered.

#3  Is the percentage of LEO's killed by black criminals known?

I'm sure every category of cop-on-black-criminal shooting is known, documented, and exaggerated. The information you are requesting is "restricted" by our Government and their media spokesholes/protectors

#2  I had to read that twice to understand. I too prefer they pass peacefully surrounded by loved ones after a long full life.

Is the percentage of LEO's killed by black criminals known? Perhaps that might shed light on the number of blacks shot by law enforcement. Is there greater threat from one population over others?
BLM is emboldened by our media and our president. If there is a truth to open conflict between criminal blacks and the rest of society it should be known and shared widely. That can reduce the conflict or allows it's prosecution to conclusion.

#1  I prefer law enforcement officers who die before being shot.
