California police fatally shoot woman who ran down officer with pickup

A woman was fatally shot by police Wednesday after she plowed a pickup into an El Cajon police sergeant on a walkway outside department headquarters, authorities said.

After the truck hit the sergeant — sending him flying — the driver backed up and started to come at him again, according to San Diego police homicide Acting Lt. Jonathan Dungan. At that point, Dungan said, the injured sergeant and a second officer who had run over to help both opened fire on the driver.
