Officer Larry L. Wetterling was fatally shot by a motorist he stopped.
Deputy Al E. Stewart also responded and was shot and killed by motorist. 


Officer Larry L. Wetterling was fatally shot by a motorist he
stopped in San Bernardino for suspected drunk driving. After shooting
Wetterling, the motorist stole the patrol officer's car, but rolled 
over as he raced away. He later killed two other people before he 
was captured. Officer Wetterling, 30, had been a member of the 
Patrol for six years and transferred to San Bernardino from Riverside.

Deputy Al E. Stewart of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department had responded to the Cajon Pass to assist CHP Officer
Wetterling. As Stewart was searching for this murder suspect,
Stewart himself was shot and killed by the same suspect who 
killed Wetterling.
