Police said they were helping a woman collect her belongings from a home as part of a domestic violence call when Adel Sambrano Ramos opened fire Wednesday, mortally wounding Officer Tara O’Sullivan, 26.
Associated PressCalifornia prosecutors filed a murder charge Friday alleging that a Sacramento man was lying in wait when he used one of two illegal assault rifles to kill a rookie police officer this week.
They said he continued shooting for hours, pinning down officers until they could use an armored vehicle to move O’Sullivan 45 minutes later. Prosecutors allege that Ramos had two AR-15 style rifles assembled from parts to create assault weapons that are illegal in California. One had a pistol grip and telescoping stock, the other a non-fixed magazine and with a pistol grip, according the charges.
