A CHP officer shot to death a Southern California man who "started choking her" after she stopped to check a car along Highway 29 south of Lower Lake, authorities said Thursday.

Lake County District Attorney Don Anderson, whose office is investigating the Wednesday afternoon shooting, said the man also tried to grab the officer's gun during the struggle.

He said investigators had conducted a preliminary interview with the officer and witnesses at the scene.

The man shot to death by a Lake County CHP officer was identified Friday as Ronald Walter Ossenberg, 52, a homeless man with a lengthy criminal record who had been released recently from the Orange County jail.

Prosecutors said Ossenberg had been on a crime spree before the encounter Wednesday with the CHP officer near Lower Lake.

The name of the officer has not been released.

Ossenberg had stolen a 2010 Toyota Camry from a car lot in Fullerton, fled from state park police in San Luis Obispo County and taken a backpack from a woman on the Golden Gate Bridge before heading to Lake County, where he had vacationed in the past, said District Attorney Don Anderson.

Glad to see that the officer fought and won.
Also glad to see there is a witness to back her up and stop any kind of whispering campaign by certain quarters that would have inevitably happened.

Chalk one up for the good guys!

Praying for the officer in Jesus' Name

Good for her!
