Investigators said the attack occurred 'without warning or provocation.' No one was struck when the officer fired, and a suspect was taken into custody soon after
A Carlsbad police officer was smacked in his head with a skateboard late Friday, an unprovoked ambush that led the injured officer to open fire on the fleeing assailant, authorities said. Responding police officers soon caught and arrested the suspect, who had not been struck by the gunfire. The officer was hospitalized for his wounds and remained there Saturday, San Diego police homicide Lt. Steve Shebloski said in a news release.
As the officer and his sergeant inspected the damage to the vehicle, someone ran up behind the officer and 'without warning or provocation' hit him with the skateboard, Shebloski said. The assailant ran off. The injured officer grabbed his gun and, as he sought cover at a nearby business, opened fire as the man ran across the parking lot. The officer fired three shots. No one was struck. The sergeant ran after the assailant.
