A police pursuit ends with one officer fatally shot, a second wounded
LOS ANGELES_The two officers ran into a Pomona apartment building after a pursuit, chasing a suspect who had just crashed nearby and was holed up in one of the units.
As they approached, gunfire blasted through a door.
Officer Greggory Casillas, a 25-year-old Upland father just six months on the job, was struck and killed. A second officer was shot in the face trying to save him.
The Friday night shooting led to an overnight standoff that ended about 15 hours later when the suspect, identified by neighbors as Isaias Valencia, was handcuffed and taken into custody by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.
