Gunman fire more than 100 rounds in CHP officer killing

A police official says the gunman who fatally shot a California Highway Patrol and wounded two other officers in Riverside this month fired at least 100 rounds before he was killed.

The Press-Enterprise reports Riverside Police Department Deputy Chief Larry Gonzalez disclosed the detail to the city Community Police Review Commission, a civilian panel that examines officer-involved deaths and complaints against police.

The gun battle erupted Aug. 12 as CHP Officer Andre Moye Jr. was impounding a vehicle from Aaron Luther, who had been driving alone in a freeway carpool lane with an expired license and no registration.

Luther suddenly pulled a rifle from his truck and opened fire. Moye was fatally wounded and a lengthy gun battle ensued before Luther was shot to death.
