Long Beach police shoot Los Angeles police officer

By THOMAS WATKINS, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 19 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - Long Beach police shot and wounded an armed and off-duty Los Angeles police officer early Wednesday after he allegedly ignored orders to drop his gun, authorities said.


Officer Jason Geggie was shot after Long Beach officers responded to a call about a person brandishing a gun while walking down the street, Long Beach police said.

Long Beach police Sgt. Dina Zapalski said Geggie pointed a gun toward officers. The Long Beach officer who fired his weapon was placed on standard three-day administrative leave, she said.

Geggie, a Long Beach resident currently assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department's central traffic division, was in stable condition at a local hospital with wounds to his arm and torso, Long Beach police said.

The 26-year-old, who has been with the LAPD for a year and a half, was booked for investigation of two counts of exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner, including once in the presence of a police officer.

Both police departments were investigating the shooting.

You can't blame the QA department. They only test to the design requirements. I blame marketing for providing crappy requirements.
