SANTA ANA, Calif. (KTLA) — A suspect was hospitalized following an officer-involved shooting in Santa Ana Friday morning.
Two officers were patrolling around 2 a.m. when they were advised about a man with a gun in the 1300 block of Gunther Street.
They confronted the man, who came out of a garage with a handgun, according to Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna.
The officers ordered the suspect to drop the gun, but he did not comply. That’s when an officer-involved shooting occurred.
The suspect, identified as 43-year-old John Berry Horton, was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center, where he underwent surgery for a bullet wound to the torso.
No officers were hurt in the incident. The shooting is now under investigation.

Thankfully, some activist who advocates violence without our justice system's protections might have stepped in… that would be so barbaric.

UC Irvine MC? Take his ass to the morgue and let him die. Why are we spending hundreds of thousands of dollars saving this scum bag? Someone at UC Irvine, pull the plug, please.

It's funny how much more "civilized" you people are wishing death and speaking foul way to show "the people" how to hold conduct and putting another being down really puts you on top of the world, don't stoop yourselves to such a degrading level by being hypocrites.
