This is really a sad story except for the bewildering last line.
A few days ago a woman near Bakersfield was found shot and a hunt for her son was initiated. They had a description of his car and the cops were pretty sure he was heading for Las Vegas.
After a couple of hours, the car was found parked alongside I 15 near the Nevada state line. For some reason a "high risk stop" was ordered and officers from four or five jurisdictions showed up.
Shooting (described as from all personnel involved) followed and the highway was closed for 19 hours. This road carries around 45,000 vehicles per day and many had to spend the night with no input from the highway patrol. Several families were trapped and many ran out of gas.
Not unexpectedly, follow-up details have been hard to find except that:
"With the vehicle surrounded, the suspect shot himself and officers returned fire."
