A man wanted on suspicion of killing one family member and wounding two others was fatally shot by police on the side of a freeway, according to law enforcement officials.

A man wanted on suspicion of killing one family member and wounding two others in a shooting this weekend in Los Angeles was fatally shot by police Tuesday morning on the side of a freeway, according to law enforcement officials.

The California Highway Patrol — which took the lead in investigating the shooting — on Tuesday evening issued a brief statement with few details, saying that a man who was allegedly wanted for homicide had been shot by police. The LAPD said all three victims were related to Medrano and that the shooting was the result of a family dispute. The department would not specify how the parties were related. The LAPD identified the man who died in that shooting as Ruben Marrufo, 61, and those injured as a 51-year-old man, who was in grave condition Tuesday, and a 50-year-old woman, who was in critical condition.

The CHP said its L.A. communications center received a report shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday of a disabled vehicle on the side of the westbound 105 Freeway, near the exit for the 710 Freeway in Lynwood, and that a responding officer determined that the vehicle was possibly stolen and that the man inside, allegedly Medrano, was wanted.

DEA agent killed, 2 law enforcement officers injured in shooting on Amtrak train in TucsonA federal agent was killed and two other law enforcement officers were injured in a shooting on an Amtrak train at a station in Tucson, Arizona. Planes, buses and now trains. Time to stop using mass transportation. SilvaRecord So if you know that a percentage of the people with drugs you are trying to catch may be armed and dangerous, wouldn't it make more sense to NOT confront them in a confined public space with people all around? Isn't that like cop training 101, or did the rules change? Weird right?
