*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN
San Diego, California

[Image: 1aofficers.jpg]

Officer DeGuzman, 43, was a sixteen year veteran of the department held in high esteem. He is described as a loving and doting husband and a father of two. RIP.

His partner, Irwin, 32, was also shot on Thursday. Officer Irwin was seriously wounded, but is fortunately expected to fully recover.

The officers, members of an anti-gang unit, were uniformed, wore bulletproof vests and drove a marked car. It's still unclear if they stopped for pedestrians or motorists in the blue-collar neighborhood of southeastern San Diego when each was shot.

San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman said the officers were wearing body cameras at the time of the shootings. Video of the confrontation is expected to be released at a later date.

Jesse Gomez, 52, was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after he was found in a ravine almost immediately after the shooting, suffering from a wound to the chest. He is expected to survive.

Police have given no further information about Gomez or a man they describe as a second "potential suspect," Marcus Cassani, who was arrested Friday on an unrelated warrant after a massive search that included SWAT officers swarming around two San Diego houses.

Police have yet to definitively link Cassani, 41, to Thursday's shooting, Zimmerman said Saturday.
