Sgt. Mark Dunakin 40, Sgt. Daniel Sakai 35, Sgt. Ervin Romans 43, Off. John Hege 41
I heard about this yesterday. So far this year, this is the second tragic story I heard from the news between officers and suspects from the same City. Which is Oakland. This time the officers are the ones who were slain and then of course the suspect. If cops pull you over don't they check your license plate first or something to see if the suspect is on probation or on a second strike.
Maybe after all them protesting about the accidental killing of Oscar Grant I guess some rules changed a bit. In my opinion, although I learned that Off. Johannes Mehserle were pissed before the incident, witnesses says that the Officer were stunned afterwards all saying "Oh my God.. Oh my God!!" So my conclusion to that is that he mistakenly picked the gun over the taser. Or he probably felt disbelief how he actually got his anger out by shooting Oscar Grant. Like what I blogged about Oscar Grant. It's hard to tell sometimes.
Lovelle Mixon, 26, was pulled over by two motorcycle officers in Oakland, California Saturday afternoon for a routine traffic stop at 1:08 p.m. Mixon, driving a 1995 Buick, who police later discovered was wanted on a no-bail warrant for violating parole on an assault with a deadly weapon charge, opened fire on Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40, who died of his injuries on Saturday. Sgt. John Hege, 41, who has been in grave condition at Highland Hospital, died at noon on Sunday.
Mixon then fled into a nearly multi-unit apartment complex. SWAT officers stormed the building and exchanged gunfire with the assailant, who was brandishing an assault rifle. Mixon killed Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43, and Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35, and slightly wounded an unidentified officer, who was treated for a minor bullet graze to the head and released from an area hospital.
The suspect, Lovelle Mixon, was killed in the gun battle. He had an extensive criminal history, according to police officials who held a news conference Saturday afternoon (see video below).
