A man suspected of a deadly carjacking in San Diego County was killed Saturday morning following a pursuit and shootout with police in Laguna Hills.<\/p>\n
Officers responded Friday around 9:53 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 2300 block of Rising Glen Way, according to the Carlsbad Police Department. <\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they located a woman with gunshot wounds. The woman succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, Carlsbad police said.<\/p>\n
The woman’s vehicle had been stolen during the shooting and was later spotted in Orange County. Newport Beach police used license plate reader technology to identify the vehicle, and a pursuit ensued, according to Carlsbad police.<\/p>\n
The driver exited the 5 Freeway on El Toro Road and, after a brief pursuit on surface streets, got out of the vehicle near an In N Out Burger parking lot.<\/p>\n
“The suspect exited his vehicle near El Toro Road and Carlota and fired a gun at officers. Officers from the Newport Beach Police Department and an officer from the Irvine Police Department returned fire,” wrote the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) in a statement to NBC4.<\/p>\n
The man was struck by the officer’s gunfire. He was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, according to OCSD.<\/p>\n
No officers were injured in the shootout.<\/p>\n
El Toro Road was closed in both directions from Avenida Carlota to Paseo de Valencia as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man suspected of a deadly carjacking in San Diego County was killed Saturday morning following a pursuit…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":241981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,8737,2961,224,5337,1036],"class_list":{"0":"post-241980","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-carlsbad","11":"tag-la","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-losangeles","14":"tag-orange-county"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115237902494505832","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
