I like to watch the police chase and confrontation videos on youtube. Was watching a video about a police shooting in a WalMart in CA and a suggested video showed up. I searched TD and didnt see anything on it so here it is

Deputy Donald Sahota Fatal Shooting from January 2022

NBC News Story from the Incident

Jan. 31, 2022, 5:01 PM CST
quote:

By Antonio Planas
An off-duty police officer who was stabbed outside his home by a robbery suspect fleeing officers was then shot by a sheriff's deputy and died Saturday night, Washington state authorities said.

Donald Sahota, 52, had been with the Vancouver Police Department since April 2014, according to the city of Vancouver. He was shot as deputies pursued a suspect after a report of an armed robbery at a convenience store, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

An independent team investigating the incident said that within seconds of arriving at Sahota’s home, the unnamed Clark County sheriff’s deputy “fired several rounds from a rifle striking the off-duty officer.”

“The off-duty officer/homeowner collapsed on his front porch before responding officers were able to determine he was the homeowner and not the alleged robbery suspect,” the Lower Columbia Major Crimes Team said.




TLDR
off duty sheriff deputy at home has armed robbery fugitive knock on his door - his wife calls 911

deputy realizes dude is up to no good, tries to detain him in his driveway and gets stabbed three times

Deputy fights the guy off but then the other LEO show up, scene is confusing

the fugitive runs into Sahota's house, Sahota's wife is in the house

Sahota chases suspect onto front porch and LEO on scene now thinks Sahota is the suspect

LEO armed with a .223 tells Sahota to stop, Sahota doesn't stop and LEO shoots him three times - fatal shooting

Fugitive surrenders without further incident

Deputy Sellers who shot Deputy Sahota is devastated when he realizes what has happened

whole thing is captured by a drone overhead

Not sure why people feel the need to post videos like this that will both ruin your day and be burned into your memory for, likely, your entire life.

What a terrible end to that. Wife is traumatized by the perp then her hubby gets accidentally murdered.

You know the trigger man is hating himself.

To be fair, if it had been the robber and he had withheld fire and the robber ended up killing the deputy or the wife, he still would have been screwed.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Don't let your kids grow up to be cops.

BS. You don't pull the trigger until you know who you're pointing your gun at.

convenience store robber in a stolen car ended up ditching the car in a neighborhood and wandering around on foot

LEO set up a wide perimeter to find him, the drone was launched to try to locate him, a LEO QRT was situated to the north of Sahota's house searching for the fugitive

what made this so sad, was Sahota was trying to get into his house to protect his wife after he himself had been stabbed three times

the fugitive still had the knife he had used to stab Sahota, no way Sahota was going to stop from going into the house after the fugitive, when the LEOs on scene told him to stop

BUT Sahota's wife had escaped the house from the garage door, when Sahota was shot on the porch. She saw the whole thing as was screaming at LEO that the man on the porch was her husband, not the man in the house.

one of the saddest and most fricked up situations I have ever seen
