Officer shot, killed by fellow police in Calif.

Authorities say a police officer under investigation for sexual misconduct with a minor was shot and killed by fellow officers trying to arrest him on California's central coast.

Santa Maria police Chief Danny Macagni said in a statement that the officer was on duty early Saturday when officers were sent to arrest him. Macagni says he physically resisted, then fired his gun.

Macagni says an officer coming to help the arresting officers shot him once, and he was declared dead at a hospital. No one else was hurt.

The chief says the dead officer, a four-year department veteran, had just learned of the internal investigation of an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl, and had to be arrested immediately.

The officer's name has been withheld until family is notified.

The officer that was killed had just gotten married 3 weeks before and the man that shot him was his best man at the wedding. People get a little bit of information and then run with it. This is a tragedy all the way around.

@DEBRACRANFORD

I can say i do see this as a tragedy as i am not a violent person, so i only make comments where i feel comfortable making them. But other's have their own opinions and it will always be that way.. Sad but true to the end. Thanks for commenting.

Officer had to be shot before he spilled the beans on the department corruption.

The department was afraid he would shed some bad light on other officers bad misconduct.

Officer had to be taken down.

COULD OF BEEN HANDLED BETTER BY THE DEPARTMENT.

@ironfistrule

Understood and very true. results will tell the story once they come out.

@1814dreadyhead if it is true this cop was having an affair with a minor I want everyone to put themselves in the parents of the young girl he was having sex with. How would anyone feel if their daughter was having sex with a cop knowing she was under age? Having sex with a minor is nothing less than child molesting. We need to wait for the facts and see. This will cost the city lots of money in lawsuits.
