Trigger-happy cop shoots two unarmed civilians

Posted by patriot on March 29th, 2008

The LA Times blog is reporting a story of an officer shooting a woman and her child, both unarmed:

The Oceanside Police Department on Thursday defended its investigation into an incident in which an off-duty San Diego police officer shot a woman and her 8-year-old son after a traffic altercation.

Oceanside Police Capt. Tom Aguigui said investigators are still trying to figure out what led Officer Frank White to fire five shots at Oceanside resident Rachel Silva’s car in a mall parking lot.

Lest you be concerned for the welfare of the officer, rest easy:

White has been put on paid administrative leave.

Oh, good. Way to discipline your trigger-happy personnel, Oceanside!
