Officer shot by fellow officers

A Santa Maria (Calif.) Police officer under investigation for sexual misconduct with a minor was shot and killed by fellow officers Saturday as they tried to arrest him.

The officer was on duty at a DUI checkpoint (Police roadblock) along Broadway shortly after 1 a.m. when he was shot, Chief Danny Macagni said.

Officers were sent to arrest him but he resisted when they arrived, first putting up a physical fight, then pulling and firing his gun but hitting no one, Macagni added.
