Summary: |
Officer Justin Putnam was shot and killed when he and other officers responded to a domestic assault incident at an apartment complex in the 2900 block of Hunter Road at about 7:00 pm.
The three officers arrived to find a victim outside. The initial call was that he had hit his wife, that there were other endangered people possibly inside and that alcohol was involved. Knowing there were others inside, the officers made entry into the apartment.
As they entered, de la Cruz ambushed them. He was prepared, ready for them to come in and started shooting immediately. There was nothing they could do to escape the gunfire.
The three officers were wearing body armor, so was de la Cruz.
de la Cruz committed suicide after shooting the officers.
