Man killed by officers on 91 Freeway had a gun, CHP says

A CHP official released some details Wednesday of the officer-involved shooting on the 91 Freeway in Corona that left an allegedly armed motorist dead and traffic backed up for miles.

The incident began with a call to CHP dispatchers at 7:47 p.m. of a traffic collision on the eastbound 91 west of Interstate 15, said CHP Officer Mario Lopez.

Corona firefighters arrived at the scene to find a man outside his car on the shoulder of the freeway armed with a gun, Lopez said.

Corona police and CHP officers arrived, and a short while later, the man was shot and killed, he said.

Further details of what transpired at the scene were not being released Wednesday, Lopez said.
