CHP Officers Shot at After Pursuing Suspected El Cajon Drunk Driver
Two California Highway Patrol officers were shot at last week in the early morning hours as they were chasing a suspected drunk driver off the freeway and onto the streets of El Cajon, east of San Diego. While one officer returned fire, it is unknown whether anyone was wounded as police are still searching for the suspects in the vehicle.
Officers had tried to pull over a Honda SUV driving along Interstate 8 at 3 a.m. but the driver refused to stop and simply left the freeway and initiated a chase along East Madison Avenue. The car eventually pulled over near Roberta Avenue, and both the driver and passenger ran in opposite direction. CHP authorities ran after the driver when they were shot at from the opposite direction. It is unknown whether anyone was wounded.
