CHP recognizes good Samaritans who rushed to help officer shot on I-8 [Breaking]
Six men who sprang into action when a California Highway Patrol officer was shot during a struggle with a driver on Interstate 8 in Mission Valley were recognized Thursday for their actions during the “dangerous and unpredictable situation.”
The group was recognized in front of CHP officers and the officers’ families during a CHP employee appreciation event at Sonrise Church in Santee. Parker presented the group with the Superior Effort Act, one of the CHP’s highest honors for civilians, on behalf of CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray. Pineda Zayago said he didn’t think twice before taking action because law enforcement officers “risk their lives for us every day, for us and for our children.”
Loay Yousif, a business owner who lives in El Cajon, said he was on his way home from SeaWorld with his wife and their three children when they encountered the traffic. When he saw the struggle between the officer and the driver, he pulled over immediately, he said. Pacheco told his wife he had been shot. She was frantic and Pacheco was in “horrible pain,” Yousif said.“Each and everyone of us did their own part,” Yousif said. “It’s like a hospital — this guy has to get scissors, this guy has to get a bandage, so literally each and every one of us, we did our job.”
