El Dorado County Deputy Brian Ishmael was killed Wednesday morning while responding to a theft at a marijuana garden at a private residence. He and an off-duty San Joaquin County Sheriff's Deputy were responding to a 'call for service' in Somerset, about 53 miles east of Sacramento. When they arrived, the two officers were immediately fired upon. The San Joaquin County deputy returned fire, authorities said. The off-duty officer was injured and underwent surgery at a local hospital and has since been released. Ishmael, a four-year veteran and married father-of-three, succumbed to his injuries. Flags were lowered to half-staff at El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and a procession of patrol vehicles rode along Wednesday in honor of the fallen deputy. 😢 #RIP

The family of a Florida man, who died in his burning Tesla Model S after he crashed, are suing the car company over its futuristic door handles that 'prevented first responders from pulling the victim' from the car. Dr Omar Awan, 48, who was an anesthesiologist, was killed in February when his Tesla crashed near Fort Lauderdale. A police officer arrived almost immediately after the crash but wasn't able to rescue Awan before the car was engulfed in flames. According to a wrongful death lawsuit that was filed by Awan's family last week, the vehicle's door handles were retracted and didn't 'auto-present' when the officer arrived to the scene. The family alleges that because Tesla's handles didn't work, the officer was unable to save Awan. 'Fire engulfed the car and burned Dr Awan beyond recognition - all because the Model S has inaccessible door handles, no other way to open the doors, and an unreasonably dangerous fire risk,' the lawsuit reads.
