An off-duty police officer who fatally shot one man and injured two others at a Southern California Costco last week said he was attacked while holding his young son, which caused him to act in self-defense, according to his attorney on June 17.
Attorney David Winslow said his client—a Los Angeles Police Department officer whom he wouldn’t name—was struck from behind as he fed his 1-and-a-half-year-old son samples of teriyaki chicken in the warehouse store in Corona, which is located southeast of Los Angeles, on June 14.
