3. Man dies after sheriff's deputies shoot at him in Lucerne Valley (sbsun.com) — San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a 34-year-old Lucerne Valley man early Tuesday after he allegedly struck a deputy with his vehicle while they tried to detain him. One deputy was treated at the scene, and both the Sheriff’s Department and California Department of Justice are investigating the shooting. Residents countywide may watch for further findings and any policy changes.
