Azor continued on and said that the man was “bleeding on his chest” when they pulled him out of the wrecked car. The man was placed on the ground and police began administering CPR to him on the sidewalk.
Fairfield Police Lt. Greg Hurlbut said that the situation began a few blocks away from where the crash eventually happened. The woman attempted to flag down an officer and said that the male driver of the car was kidnapping her.
“I think she yelled something to the effect that she was being assaulted and then the vehicle drove away.”
The police chase was very short before the white vehicle wrecked which happened after the woman shot the driver. He did end up dying from his injuries suffered during the shooting.
As of Friday afternoon, the identities of the two people involved in the domestic violence incident had not been released by the police. While the driver did die after being shot by the female passenger, the 10-month-old baby and the woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation into the alleged kidnapping incident is still ongoing to determine if any charges will be filed against the California woman.
