YUCCA VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- A San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy has died after being shot by a motorcyclist at the end of a chase in the Yucca Valley area, authorities said.
Sergeant Dominic Vaca, 43, was airlifted to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries Monday, Sheriff John McMahon said in a video message posted on Twitter.
"The gunshot wound he sustained earlier today was too severe for him to overcome. Our prayers are with him and his family as we all mourn this difficult time," the sheriff said.
Vaca was a 17-year veteran of the department and was a sergeant at the Morongo Basin Station.

What isn't in this press release is that the dirtbag was cornered and fought the law and the law won. Out in Yucca Valley is the wild west, with a lot of wide open desert. A long way from help or good hospitals.

Sad to hear.
We lost another Good Guy.
I have worked out in that area quite a bit in the past years
Lots of Drug cooking and growing out there.
I sure would not want to be an officer out there.

Sorry to hear that, RIP

Yes, that is some bad/sad news.

Memorial day will be forever sad for all to many good people, sadly this was right up the road from us last night, we saw the helicopter heading out.

A teenager has died and two other teens injured in a utility terrain vehicle accident Monday night in western Crawford County, according to Pennsylvania State Police at Meadville.

The deceased, a 13-year-old Conneautville area boy, was a passenger in the UTV which crashed on Steamburg Road in Conneaut Township just before 7:30 p.m. Monday, state police said.

The teen was one of three people in the UTV which was driven by a 17-year-old girl from Conneaut Lake, state police said.

A UTV has seating side by side and is used to haul equipment and supplies.

The crash site was about a mile northeast of the village of Pennline at the Pennsylvania-Ohio border.

The UTV was traveling west on Steamburg Road, about a quarter mile east of Patch Road when it crashed, state police said.

The driver lost control of the UTV after exiting a curve in the dirt road, state police said. The UTV then overturned twice, ejecting the 13-year-old boy in the process, police said.

The 17-year-old girl driving the UTV and another passenger, a 14-year-old girl from Conneautville both were taken to UPMC Hamot in Erie with minor to moderate injuries, police said.

There were no seat belts used by any of the occupants of the UTV, police said.

The 13-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene by Crawford County Coroner Scott Schell.

Schell ruled the boy’s death accidental due to multiple blunt force trauma.

The identity of the deceased teen is not being released at this time as pending additional notification of family, Schell told the Tribune.

The accident remains under investigation this morning, Schell said.

Conneaut Lake, Conneautville and Springboro ambulance services and Conneautville and Springboro volunteer fire departments assisted state police and the coroner’s office at the scene.
