Cop possibly shot 2 from inside his car
San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | March 28, 2008 | Matthew Rodriguez

Posted on 03/28/2008 12:40:35 PM PDT by Ken H

Oceanside police said yesterday that the driver's door window of an off-duty San Diego police officer's Mercury sedan was shattered after he shot a 27-year-old woman and her 8-year-old son in a traffic confrontation.

Capt. Tom Aguigui declined to say how investigators think the window was broken.

In an interview Tuesday, however, Aguigui said police think Officer Frank White fired at Rachel Silva's Honda from inside his car. White's wife was a passenger in his car at the time.

At the news conference, Aguigui said there were five bullet holes in Silva's car: four in the windshield and one in the window of the front passenger's door.

The shooting occurred March 15 in the parking lot of the Lowe's store on Old Grove Road near state Route 76 in Oceanside. It was the culmination of an apparent road-rage incident, police have said.

Silva's 8-year-old son was shot once in the left leg. Silva was struck twice in the upper right arm. Both have been released from a hospital.

At yesterday's news conference, Oceanside police provided few other new details. They said they recovered a handgun belonging to White at the scene. Aguigui declined to say whether the gun is White's service weapon.

Aguigui said police have interviewed eyewitnesses, but he would not reveal what they reported seeing. He added that police are interested in talking to anyone else who was there.

Don’t worry they will think up a story to justify the cop. They always do. Some stories are just harder to come up with.

The police are waiting to interview the cop’s wife. Presently, she can’t hear.

I'm trying to picture this ...

An off-duty cop, driving with his wife in the car, for some reason opens up on another car... THROUGH HIS OWN CLOSED WINDOW.

That other car has a woman and a child in it .. and the off-duty cop hits them both ... the child accidently (it seems)

This comes under the category of, WTF ?

It's two words: "They are"

In writing "They're" is an acceptable contraction. Never "their"

Well, you know, the lefties tell us that only cops and military should be trusted with firearms.

Exactly why I get disturbed by some of these stories. I support our folks wearing the badge but they are not above the law and are public servants. They are our employees but for some they think they are above the law, and many are mere additional tax collectors, truth be told.

I couldn't find "leraned" in my dictionary. I do think that I understand the meaning you intended.

My personal favorite is “lose” vs “loose”.
