San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Nunez was fatally shot Monday while responding to a domestic violence call in Rancho Cucamonga, authorities said.

Motorcycle suspect seen speeding along 210 Freeway during police chase in California.

A suspect accused of killing a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy speeds along the 210 Freeway before crashing into a moving car. 

 

Deputy Andrew Nunez, 28, was among deputies who responded to a domestic in Rancho Cucamonga.  Man with a gun threatening a woman.  The suspect opened up on the deputies, hitting Deputy Nunez in the head.  He was a six-year veteran of the department and left behind a child and a pregnant wife.

The suspect fled at very high speed on a motorcycle.  Hit 150 mph.  A off-duty sheriff's deputy in an unmarked department vehicle heard the action on the radio, got into position and sideswiped the bike as it blew past him on the freeway.  Dude looked like he was dryer surfing without the dryer.  Scratched the bike up a bit too.

The suspect was airlifted to a hospital where he is being cared for.  He is likely to be booked on suspicion of murder when he is medically released.
