WATCH: The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California has released video footage of a subterranean drug tunnel discovered between Otay Mesa and Tijuana.
Watch OAN on Spectrum and YouTube TV today for more updates.
Federal authorities seized $45 million worth of cocaine after discovering a nearly 2000 foot underground tunnel running from Mexico to a San Diego storefront. The tunnel was equipped with electricity and ventilation and investigators had been surveilling the location for months due to unusually low customer traffic. Four people were arrested and each face a maximum penalty of life in prison.
The 36-year-old man charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting a San Francisco police officer had been out on parole for less than six months at the time of the Sunday night shootout in the Bayview, according to officials and court records. https://t.co/6nvENrZl5B
A felon who came to SFPD attention when he ran a stop sign, who turned out to have an open warrant and a stolen gun, and then fought cops trying to arrest him, and then given bail, should go to prison for 57 months say federal prosecutors in San Francisco https://t.co/Z4nLw9qMZP
The San Francisco Police Officers Association is profoundly relieved to learn that the San Francisco police officer who was shot multiple times in the line of duty Sunday night is expected to survive.
Our thoughts and prayers are with this officer, their loved ones, and their fellow officers as they begin what will undoubtedly be a long and difficult recovery. While we are grateful for this positive news, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that police officers face every day while protecting the people of San Francisco.
What began as an effort to stop a robbery suspect quickly escalated into a violent confrontation in which an officer was shot multiple times. Every day, police officers put themselves between danger and the communities they serve, often facing life-threatening situations with little warning.
The SFPOA and its members are deeply grateful to the responding officers whose courage and quick actions helped bring this incident under control, and to the paramedics, emergency medical personnel, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff whose skill and dedication are helping save this officer's life and support their recovery.
As this officer heals, we ask the public to keep them and their family in their thoughts. We also ask the community to remember the sacrifices made every day by the men and women of law enforcement who work tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe.
The San Francisco Police Officers Association stands firmly behind this officer and their family and will continue to provide them with our full support throughout their recovery.
Reports said backup officers found the suspect near Bayshore Boulevard and Costa Street and took him into custody without incident. Officers recovered two firearms at the scene.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411. Informants may remain anonymous.
Police Chief Derrick Lew said the wounded officer “still faces a long road to recovery,” and that her family, friends and other officers involved in the incident were “shaken to the core.”
“She’s an extremely popular officer who is known for her hard work and hard-nosed work ethic,” Lew said. “Violence against our officers is unacceptable and will never be tolerated in San Francisco.” https://t.co/nrS3WkiCtP
