"A person suspected of fatally shooting a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy was deliberately knocked off of his motorcycle by another deputy while he was leading authorities on a high-speed pursuit on the 210 Freeway in Upland. The deputy who was killed Monday was identified as Andrew Nunez, a six-year employee of the department. He leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter and a pregnant wife, according to Sheriff Shannon Dicus. The suspect, who has not been identified, is in stable condition at an area hospital."
"'We're embedded in sorrow. Unfortunately for our department, this has happened way too often,' Dicus said at a Monday afternoon news conference. 'We're going to do our very best to do the most important thing at this point, and that's to make sure that we bring the suspect to justice and take good care of that family.'"
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy Andrew Nunez was shot while responding to a report of an armed man threatening a woman in the 12300 block of Hollyhock Drive in Rancho Cucamonga at 12:37 p.m. He was airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton and later pronounced dead. Nunez was a six-year employee and leaves a 2-year-old daughter and a pregnant wife. Authorities began pursuing a fleeing suspect on the 210 Freeway in Upland around 1:20 p.m., with the suspect reportedly exceeding 150 mph. Another deputy deliberately knocked the suspect off his motorcycle. The suspect is hospitalized in stable condition. Charges including murder of a police officer and domestic violence are planned to be filed within days.
