Around 11:37 a.m., two officers tried to pull over a black Range Rover for traffic violations. A dispatcher then told the officers that the SUV had been reported stolen earlier in the day. About a minute later, the SUV pulled over. As at least one officer attempted to step out of the vehicle, the Range Rover ran in reverse, ramming the Buena Park police car. Police shot and killed the driver.
