Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I AM six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app AFI
AM sixty. It is the Conway Show. It is Monday,
and the freeways are all messed up because of a
guy who didn't want to behave on the two ten freeway.

(00:23):
And now if you're if you're eastbound on the two
ten freeway outward Crozier Lives, man, are you hosed and
you're gonna be hosed for quite some time. This accident,
if you call it that, I think it was on purpose.
I think the guy. If you're if you haven't seen
this accident, you gotta go look on social media. It's
wild guys on a motorcycle running away from cops. He's

(00:45):
got a couple of guns. They say he turned around
backwards and riding on his bike. I think he just
was looking backwards. He caught up to a car, this
Ford or Sedan, and the Ford or Sadan put a
stop to the chase himself, ran into the guy with
the motorcyde.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
The guy did a one to eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
The guy the motorcycle did a cartwheel and landed on
his head. And fourteen minutes later krozer out where you lived.
Fourteen minutes later, the helicopter from the Sheriff's department lands
and takes this lad away. I don't know where he
was going, but what a chase and what a day.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
The irony of allegedly shooting a Samborandino County Sheriff's officer,
and then the sheriff's are the ones that in Cuckamonga,
no less, and then the Cuckamonga Sheriff's department of the
ones who send their chopper to go pick the.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Guy up off the freeway? As isn't that crazy? A
little tasty? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
And I agree with you because we were talking beforehand,
and I went back and looked at that video. The
guy in the fast lane definitely was turning into the
carpool lane right as the motorcycle was coming up on
his left side. So I think it's on purpose too. Yeah,
And you could make that argument very easily.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, but you know what, Unfortunately for the motorcyclist, it's
going to be the what is that San Bernardino County? Yeah, Okay,
Samberdi County is not, you know, very lenient on people
to shoot cops, so they're probably not going to charge
the guy at all on the you know, the car
that hit the motorcycle.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
As much as I could see, and I looked at
different angles that were covering it. I tried to watch
for as long as I could the car that did
hit the motorcycle, how long he kept going, how far
he kept going, And he definitely got to a slow down,
but he never stopped before he got out of the frame.
So he was still slowly moving forward in that fast lane,

(02:30):
and you could you could see him thinking with his car, right,
should I just pull over and keep going? Should I
pull over keep going? It's very interesting to watch before
he got out of the frame. So I don't know
what happened to that guy, because no, no officers went
after the.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Car, right, and then all the helicopter reporters all got
it wrong. They're like, oh, there's the van that hit him.
I'm like, Okay, it wasn't a van, it was a
it was a car. But also I think what happened
was you know, I bet you the guy in the
Ford or sedan that hit the motorcyclist, you know, he
probably had a couple of beers. You know, that's not
unusual for that part of uh Monday, Southern California. Yeah right, yeah,

(03:05):
and so he hits the motorcycles. Hey, I did my
buddy's a favor, and then he's and then he's like, oh, yes,
I'm buzzed. I got to get out of here. You know,
cops are going to hassle me again for being buzzed.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
It was also really interesting because the suspect who has
taken you know, cops on the chase, he keeps slowing
down and speeding up, and at one point he had
kind of slowed down enough to where the loan at
the time CHP motorcycle that was chasing him, and he
was hitting them speeds too.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
The CCHP officer he pulled up to.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Him and he looked like he was trying to pit
him with his motorcycle, which is really interesting.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I've never seen it before in my life.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, I mean it's a it's a you know, Southern
California throws a lot at you.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I mean, this is all before two o'clock.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Hello, Monday, everybody the week, this is the Dodgers in
the World series. That's not enough, that's not in simulating
enough to go home and watch it on TV. You've
got to be out there shooting at cops and running
away from the cops and doing cartwheels on the on
the two tens. Hey, maybe we'll stick this guy into
a Sweet James ad somehow.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hey, if you're on away from cops and you're into
doing cartwheels on the two ten, called sweet James, Yes,
Sweet James Burgner. But anyway, Angel, what's going on with
the freeways? You are the queen of all freeways? That's
Abellio calls you.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, this is what's 'on.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, it's still closed. It's still closed East two ten
coming up on Mountain.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
All right, so it's closed. If you're eastbound, you're you're screwed.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, you're you're absolutely screwed because it's been closed for hours.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Okay, you're you're in touch with CHP more than we are.
Is the guy still with us? Is he alive?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
He is still with us.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I couldn't believe it. You know. It was in the
middle of a report, watching a live shot and I
see the guy sitting up and the medics are there
taking care of him. I'm like, holy cow, this guy's alive.
How did that happen.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, he's going about one hundred and twenty miles an hour.
He hits a car, he does a flip, the car,
the motorcycle lands on his head, and he's still alive.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
It looks The first thing I thought was there were
two things. I thought.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
It was like, well, it all depends, like if the
guy was wearing a really good flack jacket to protect himself.
And I had to look at the clock because I'm like,
is this gonna be cleared up at the time I.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Get to home.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, that's all you do whenever there's anything on the
two ten. Crozier looks at the clock, like, Christy.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Here you go.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
That's right, get that, get that wrapped up. The whole
helmet popped off off.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It was off the coverage that I've seen. I think
it was a kt LA.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
They showed that the far right lane they did have open, okay,
so they were diverting people off at the at the
edge of the way before that at at Mountain uh.
And then they then they showed one lane that they
had they had everybody coned off to one lane and
having him going on the far right. That's what the
that's what they just showed on the on the coverage.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Okay, so let's let's let's provide some clarification on that,
because the freeway is closed and those people were just
stuck in between the off rank.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
It's a divert just that they put up at Mountain.
Everybody between Mountain and the accident.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
They let them go down. Oh good, that's good.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
You know, I'm glad they do that because why wait
for six hours because somebody is an ass and then
uh in they five o'clock hour.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I can finish a really smart way to do it
the way they did it.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, but they got to do that from now on.
They got to, you know, relieve the pressure on that freeway.
But now the tens jam, the sixties jam, the ninety one,
everything else is gonna get jammed because this a hole
doesn't know how to behave and there's another there's not
There's too many people in southern California that can't behave.
And now we all pay for it. All those guys

(06:35):
that are following him, all the cops. They've got homes
to go to, they've got kids to go to, they've
got a bit, you know, pick up kids and and
worry about their home life, all the people on the
two ten freeway who are going east to you know,
pick up their children or you know, see their mom
or dad in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Everybody's got place to go. And this ass I can't
use that whole word, no, okay, is is screwing it
up for everybody, everybody.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
And and we've had enough of that. You know, people on.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
On overpasses threatening to jump, and ninety thousand people have
to be late to work or late to pick up kids,
or late to have dinner at home because of you know,
because one guy you know, can't, can't, can't keep it together.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
You know how many times we do that on a
regular basis. Now the two ten is closed. It's eastbound
two ten in Upland what's that exit there? Is it
Haven or campus? A campus? And one of those big
shopping centers is there, and it's the colonies.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's the whole run.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's you know, it's home depot, it's you know, the
in and out of all the marshalls. You know, yeah,
all the crap that I own can be purchased at
that one shopping center. But it's it sucks, you know,
we have. We're all and geared up to watch the

(08:01):
Dodger game that starts in almost exactly one hour. And
now we're going there's gonna be a press conference on
this guy. The cops have to what time is.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
It the press conference?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Now be belliusn't wants to say something. It should know
how to worked the mind.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Well, the press conference is going to be on the
condition of the deputy that was shot, which is connected
to this motorcycle.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
All right, so we got we got the press conference
on the deputy.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
He deserves one.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
But this guy has created a tremendous amount of you know,
inconvenience and hostility in southern California, and seems like they
all live here. It seems like anytime you watch a
high speed per suit with a guy running away from
the cops, shooting at the cops, it's always Southern California,

(08:48):
occasionally Texas or Florida. But then we come and we
trump them again, and we have a you know, world
class a hole in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
So that's where we are.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
You know, if you're the two ten east bound, you
are absolutely posed for the rest of the afternoon. Angel
What is your best guess you've been doing this for
a long time. When they opened the two ten freeway,
is it midnight?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Well, since the guy didn't die on the freeway, but
there's a lot of like I saw, I think I
saw what looked like a lot of casings on the
freeway after his backpack, you know, went all over the place.
It's going to be a while because every part of
that motorcycle is now evident and as well as everything

(09:32):
that fell out of his backpack. So as soon as
they you know, scoop up everything on the roadway, then
they might they will get some lane.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Try to keep up updated on that. I sure will,
Okay Crozier.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
So if you went to the back of your house,
and you live in Claremont, if you went to the
back of your house, you looked over the wall, you
would see bumper to bumper traffic.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, is it backed up to your house? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I can almost definitely, Because you know, like Angels saying,
you're you're gonna I have two, They're they're locking you out.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
At the next exit past mine, which is Mountain, that's
where everybody has to get off. Like Angel was saying,
the exit before that is basically mine. So they're gonna
be a lot of people using that one as well.
So either way, it's backed up past where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
And then because you you know, I normally ask Angel,
but you live right there, so give us the strawberry shortcut.
Do you go south of the two ten to get
by or north of the two ten to get by?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Is foothill? North of the two ten.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
There's there's well, yeah, and right there where baseline is,
there's only south of the two ten.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Okay, south of the two ten on baseline, I.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Mean you get you can get it too the mountain
roads and all that stuff, but you don't want to
do that, so you either want to hit like baseline
or foothill going going east Okay, and that's gotta be
jammed too. Oh yeah, they're gonna they're gonna suck. They're
Foothill and Baseline are gonna stink.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
And then the ten's gonna be backed up and people
want to get home to watch the Dodgers. And now
there's hundreds of thousands of people that are inconvenience from
this a hole.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Thanks buddy, that's where we live.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
One guy, you know, like a sekl, always talked about
the the is it the brown recluse spider. Is that
sound familiar, Yeah, brown recluse. It can bite an elephant.
The elephant can die before he hits the ground. Too
much power with the spider. Too much power, too much power.

(11:20):
Now we've got too much power with a holes in
Los Angeles. Too much power. They can shut down freeways,
they can shoot at deputies, they can do whatever they want,
and we all have to change our schedules for these
a holes, all of us. It's it's unbelievable. Too much power.
They should just sweep these guys, you know, like I
bet they do in in uh, in foreign countries, especially

(11:41):
in South America. I bet this guy would have been
swept off the into the gully of the freeway and
freeway opens up, you know, push his motorcycle and his
body into the gully and open the freeway. I think
that's where we got to get to. You know, a
couple of those, and I think this crap would shut down.
You receee Bob funniest home videos from like South, like

(12:02):
Central America or South America. They show everything, Yeah they do. Yeah,
guy get robbed, bang, guy gets turns into switcheet bodies
in the streets Yeah, he gets shot to death right there,
and people are, you know, watching it with their kids.
I think we need to get there. I think the
Central and South America I have it right. Yeah, they
got the right idea. Just push these people into the gully,
into the office shoulder and get them out of our lives.

Tyler who had a grandson that was walking around with

more thing and then we're going to get into this.
I was born in nineteen sixty three, one hundred years
before I was born. It was the Battle of Gettysburg. Yeah,
that's only one hundred years before I was born. That's right,
the tipping point of the Civil War.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Oh, eighteen seventy three, eighteen sixty three. History is long,
history is short. Yeah, it's crazy. I assume we'll get
to the news after the bie. Yes, we gotta take
a break, and we might have that press that the
presser will bounce me and we'll get to the big
news of the day because that was a crazy chase
watching it in the newsroom. Yeah, and I and you
know when every reporter, every anchor is sitting there watching
the TV, there's something really going on.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, it was, and it was very scary to watch that. Monks.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I enjoy talking about your family in Kentucky more than
I do the news.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
You know what, so do I Yeah, let's do it again.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Sure right, Michael Monks every Saturday and right here on
KFI AM six forty more now with Krozer.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
I'm gonna get in trouble over that one.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Let's at this press conference right now, and.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Ranchall kuokamok up, followed by the district Attorney, Jason Anderson.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
Thank you, Gloria Folcs. It's with a heavy heart that
I announced that our deputy who was shot during a
domestic violence incident earlier today. Because his name is Andrew Nunez.
He's a six year deputy with the Samordino County Sheriff's
Department and it served the community of Rancha Cucamonga for
five years. At thirteen thirteen hours. He was pronounced to

(18:29):
cease after receiving a single gunshot wound to the head.
As you know, Andrew was responding to a domestic violence call.
After that call, deputies immediately started rendering aid to Andrew,
and our allied agency along with our SWAT team, came
in to secure the area in Ranchaku Kamunga where this

(18:50):
call took place. While that was occurring, the suspect left
the area on a motorcycle and subsequently was pursued by
our deputy sheriffs with aerial support overhead. The pursuit came
to a conclusion with an off duty deputy sheriff who

(19:11):
put himself on duty and conducted a legal intervention by
hitting the suspect on the motorcycle, causing the motorcycle to
go down. The suspect is in stable condition at an
area hospital right now. The additional information about this case,
as you can imagine, this is still an ongoing investigation.

(19:31):
We're out on the scene investigating that. We're also on
the scene where the pursuit came to a culmination and
taking care of that investigation, and then we're also waiting
with the suspect to interview him as you can imagine,
the entire department is very heavily. I don't even know

(19:53):
what to say. We're embedded in sorrow. Unfortunately for our department,
this has happened way too often when we talk about
this young man, his wife, two year old daughter, and
the couple was expecting. His mother and his four brothers
and sisters are who have to live with this, along

(20:15):
with the members of his department who are out there
serving with them. Today, We're going to do our very
best to the most important thing at this point, and
that's to make sure that we bring this suspect to
justice and take care of good care of that family.
I'm going to introduce my partner, RDA Jason Anderson, and
then afterwards Jason and I will take some questions.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
Think good afternoon.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Jason Anderson with the Sabridino County District Attorney's Office. Obviously,
this is a very sad but fluid situation. We've been
monitoring information that we've gotten from the Sheriff's Department other
agencies that have been involved in this. We anticipate receiving
reports very very quickly within the next couple of days. Obviously,
the status of the suspect will determine the timing of

(21:01):
our filing of our charges. But clearly we're looking at
this as a murder on a peace officer, which makes
it a significant case. As the sheriff is indicated there's
a component perhaps a domestic violence to at the home.
As you can imagine, it's so fresh that we're still
trying to get details on that. But we will weigh
all of the facts and the information that we have

(21:22):
and move forward in terms of making a charging decision,
likely within the next two days of this sad event occurring.
We've been here at the hospital since about one point
thirty and it just is unbelievable in terms of the
emotions what this family is going through as this has
developed upon them. Our sympathies are with them. I have

(21:46):
to say though, that one of the most impressive things
is is a given such a fluid situation and so tragic.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
There so many different departments can.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Come together and work very very quickly and very very
close to not only give information to the family to
help them get towards closure, but to be able to
make the appropriate professional decisions from the district attorney's standpoint,
but also more importantly, having open communication as it relates
to all the investigations that will occur in this case,
and that has to do with what happened in Rancho.

(22:18):
It's what happened, what happened on the two ten, unfortunately,
with the suspect being taken to the custody and then
over the next couple of days reviewing reports and moving
forward and obviously seeking justice on behalf of Deputy Junias
and his family.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
Thank you, Jason Folks will take questions ahead well. Deputy
Unias was a five six year deputy. He had served
the community here in Rancho cucamonga wonderful father, wonderful deputy sheriff.
I can tell you from seeing all of the long

(22:56):
faces of his partners that this tragedy hits close his
personal family obviously, and certainly to the greater Sheriff's Department
family and all of his partners that knew him. It
is a blessing today and that the response of our
allied law enforcement agencies to come help us handle a
situation of this size, one that actually turns into a

(23:17):
pursuit as well, and I certainly hope for the family
that we can provide some level of peace by making
sure that the suspect is held to answer for this crime,
and we'll all continue to move forward.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
As a department told me about the mindset the deputies,
just responding to what I mean.

Speaker 6 (23:41):
I know you say there's never just a ninteenth colony,
but this is the type he is, the type of calls.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
On your Jeminis Centers day in the day, out and out.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
From the situation like this where the department's crushed and
you're in, you're talking to the family.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
So, Rob, that's a great question. And what was asked
is when a deputy goes to these types of calls,
what goes through their mind And as you can all imagine,
deputy sheriffs play these scenarios, not only going through the academy,
but also through our own minds about what we're going
to do as we gain experience in those calls, about
how we handle them and handle them safety safely. The

(24:22):
unknown here is the problem. You don't know where the
suspects at when you go on scene. You don't know
the circumstances, and this is going to be one of
those cases. You're getting what we call a domestic violence
involving a man with a gun. We know we've got
to get there, and I can tell you one hundred
percent the deputy Nunia is wanted to make sure that
he protect the public. That's get there, solve the problem.

(24:45):
We never want to use or employ violence, but we
have to be prepared for that. That's what goes through
their minds while they're en route to calls like this,
along with all their partners that are going to go
back the responding deputies.

Speaker 9 (24:58):
Did we re wire it all somewhere else?

Speaker 6 (25:00):
During this I saw him pulling out a guild the
three ways the evidence of any other assaults?

Speaker 8 (25:08):
What Rob was asking is whether or not there's any
evidence of any other assaults. We do know from seeing
the video that he did pull another firearm out. This
is all still very preliminary as to whether or not
he did assault anybody else. I can tell you are
off duty narcotics officer. I'm very thankful for that he
brought this to a close because, in addition to potentially

(25:29):
assaulting others with the firearm, the speeds that were reached
with that motorcycle, well, we got reports live from the helicopter.
We're in excess of one hundred and fifty and even
close to sometimes almost two hundred miles an hour, and
if you can imagine what that could have done to
just unsuspecting motorists on our freeway. I'm very thankful that

(25:50):
we were able to take him into custody, and fortunately
nobody outside of Deputy Nunyaz was hurt. But our hearts
are heavy right now. And you all know I've stood
right here in the same place and talk to you
many times in similar circumstances, and you know, as a sheriff,
you just don't know what to say to stand people up.

(26:11):
You don't know what to say, and you're expected to
know the magic words. And the only thing I can
say is I don't know why this continues to happen
to us. But I couldn't be more proud of the
men and women that show up every day and they
deliver safety to this county. And they are the true
heroes in this picture, along with Deputy and Unias, and
God bless them.

Speaker 9 (26:30):
He responding to.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
No Rob asked if he was responding to the call solo.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
He was not.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
We had numerous deputies when you have a man with
a gun call, and here fortunately in the in the
city of Rancho, Cucamonga. We do have very good staffing here,
so there are a number of deputies, deputies that frankly,
within seconds and moments we're on scene when the shooting occurred.

(26:59):
Right now, we don't know any of that. There could
be a possibility we were setting up, as you can imagine,
when these things happen, it's our responsibility to contain potential violence,
So setting up a perimeter and not letting that violence
get out beyond there for him to leave, and the
motorcycle played something entirely different in the middle of the
Rancho station, deputies and other responding allied agencies responding to

(27:22):
try to lock down a perimeter, and when you don't
know where the suspect is, you have to use time.
Do we go out two blocks, three blocks? Those types
of things. Those were the active decisions that were being made.
And I can tell you as to share if I
couldn't be more proud to listen to our folks who
were boots on the ground, including Deputy Newonits as he
went on scene and trying to take care of this community,
to put all of us.

Speaker 9 (27:43):
In the right places. Many appreciate.

Speaker 8 (27:47):
I can't share anything about him right now, we're still
forensically trying to positively IDM. I can tell you probably
within the next twenty four hours, though we'll make sure
we get that all. It's important to us. I know
it's important to all of you, and also with some
more circlestances if we can that are surrounding that domestic
violence in the original call and hopefully try to bring
sense to something that really is senseless at this point.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
That's that was on boring.

Speaker 9 (28:10):
Can we know the relationship which we can as.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
A woman and the amigal pony.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
D so you just know those domestic that I don't know.

Speaker 8 (28:18):
It sounded like it was a domestic call at this point,
and that's what I want to give all of you
as soon as we can, is what is that relationship
as a husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, acquaintance. We're still in
the middle of that.

Speaker 9 (28:29):
In the community.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Do a department a deputy aias.

Speaker 8 (28:33):
States folks, if we could all pray for the deputy
sheriffs that are doing the hard work for us out
there day in and day out, and pray for their safety.
Since I've been the sheriff, this is I think my
eighty first officer involved shooting there's a tremendous amount of
violence out there. We're proactively trying to prevent this violence.
If you guys, go out and look up the statistics

(28:54):
of our area here in San Bernardino County, we're recovering
ghost guns. The deputies are out doing a brilliant job
trying to proactively police and get to the criminal element
before they get to our citizens. And I can tell
you right now, I support it. I support going after
the criminals before they get to us, and I support
it vehemently. And I don't want to see this happen

(29:15):
to another one of my deputies or any of our
citizens in this county. And we're going to continue to
do the hard job. We're going to continue to take
on the criminal element, and we're not going to take
no for an answer. We're not going to get mixed
up in politics. We're going to go out and do
the job, and we are going to be unapologetic for
doing that job.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Amen.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
Sure, right, law, the arrival depute, unions, the sting of
person at one time when you're in the backup deputies
and ride. From my knowledge of the call, and this
is again preliminary information, I'm talking within seconds and moments
they're all arriving at the same time. That's none oncomon.
That's not uncommon here in the City of Rancho because

(29:54):
of the number of employees that we have patrolling at
any given time.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
And again, be being a patrolman.

Speaker 8 (30:00):
Is a very dangerous situation, as you can imagine, like
Rob was talking about earlier, you really don't know what
you're going to get into. So they're the first line
of defense and as the rest respond. Now we can
start rolling out. Do we need a perimeter, do we
need to put more people on the threat, so to speak,
that type of thing. And unfortunately, as this spelled out

(30:21):
so fast when we're talking about Deputy Uniaz, we had
him in a helicopter and it took us six minutes
to get him here. So everything was being done trying
to do the best we can to take care of
our deputy and then at the same time simultaneously locking
that place down. So heaven forbid, we have a gunman
on the loose that could hurt a citizen. And I'm

(30:43):
very thankful that things ended the way they are that
I'm not reporting to you that the suspect is at large.
And again I couldn't be more proud of the deputies
and our allied agencies, the CHP and all the folks
that regularly help us Fontana PD rialto I mean, we
have a great working relationship in this county and they
are a blessing to all of us. And the easiest
way I can have describe that relationship to all of

(31:05):
you is when any of our partners ever need help
on a tragic daylight today, the answer is always yes
before the phone rings, Hey, folks, thank you for covering this.
I will make sure we get you more information. I
know we did leave some open questions here, but please
know their questions for me as well. And please know
that right now we're going to be taking care of

(31:26):
that family, making sure they get everything we need and
more importantly, we're going to make sure that we deliver
Deputy Nunya's home and God bless all of you.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Thank you for your time.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
All right, that is wrapping up the press conference. Very
very sad, a San Berndino County Sharer's deputy has been killed,
Deputy Nunyas and that was the pursuit on the two
ten Freeway east bound. That was the share of Shannon
Dyke is his eighty first violent encounter with his deputies

(32:00):
since he's been sheriff. Lots of violence in southern California.
When we watched that chase earlier, there was a couple
of people here that said, all that, you know, the
guy on the motorcycle just drove into the car in
front of him, And I said, no, no, no, buddy.
I watched at the end of that chase fifteen times
the guy in that car swerved over and purposely crashed

(32:22):
into that motorcyclist.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
And they said, no, no, that's not true. Well, it
was just confirmed. It is true.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
The guy did it, and he was an off duty
deputy or an off duty police officer who belly, what
is the term that they used. He made himself on duty.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, he was off duty and then I forget the
word it made himself on duty and did a legal intervention.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, and he smacked that a hole driving the motorcycle.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Who is the primier, the premier suspect, the only suspect
right now, the principal suspect in the shooting of Deputy Unias. Now,
this Deputy Unions is on the job for I think
five or six years. He's probably going home to watch
the Dodgers with his family. A lot of these cops,

(33:17):
especially in that area, are major Dodger fans, and now
instead of having the TV on, Dad at home watching
the game with the kids, they're planning a funeral. That's
where we are. That's where we are in southern California.

(33:38):
It's amazing how many people are on edge in California.
And my old partner, Doug Steckler, used to say it,
and man, it rings true now more than did back then.
The most dangerous people in this world are people with
nothing to lose. And if you ask any cop retired,

(34:03):
you know, ex cop, current officer, what the most the
scariest calls they go on, they'll almost all, without.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Exceptions, say the domestics. They won't even let you finish
the sentence. Oh it's a domestic.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Yeah, it's a domestic because tensions are high, the relationship
has gone south. There's anger, there's jealousy. People don't see
a way of future for themselves without that partner, and
they do things that cost their own lives a lot
of the times, or the lives of their loved ones,

(34:38):
or in this case, the live the life of a
deputy and now there's another funeral that is going to
be very well attended, and it should be. And we're
going to learn more about deputy in Nunyaz. Did he
have a family, they have a history in law enforcement,
Did they have ancestors or relative in law enforcement?

Speaker 2 (34:59):
What kind of ca comunity guy was.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
And I guarantee you that there's going to be tens
of people, hundreds of people that come forward and say, oh,
he's a great guy, went to school with him, he
always wanted to be a cop. He's a great dad,
he's a great brother, he's a great father, he's all
this and now he's gone, you know, literally hours before
this Dodger game started. And the Dodgers are a big

(35:24):
deal with these deputies and these officers, big big fans.
It's it's unbelievable that we have to again, there's gonna
be a big funeral out there Crozier when uh shan't what,
I'm not Deputy sheriff. When Sheriff Shannon Dyke has said,

(35:46):
you know, we got there quickly. I imagine Rancho Kuckamonga.
That's probably where their big station is, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
That was the closest station to them. Yeah, it was
a Kuckamonga.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Their main station is obviously in Sanborn and you know itself,
which I think is where he was speaking from.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Dykas. Yeah, they have a chopper usually standing by in
Cuckamonga station. Unbelievable. All right, we're going to take a break.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Dodger game and the score doesn't seem as important right
now after what we've all seen on the freeways of
southern California. Another day in with Crazies. We're live on
KFIM six forty, KFI AM sixty. It is the Conway Show.
We've got horrible news coming out of San Bernardino. A

(36:31):
police officer called to a domestic dispute. Officer Deputy in
Nunias was shot in the head and killed. Then with
the suspect, there was a motorcycle pursuit that ended up
on the fifth on the two ten Freeway east bound
and right at U Croze.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
You say campus, right, it was right before campus, yeah,
pretty much right there at campus. Yeah. And he's rolling along.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
It looks like he's trying to get a gun out
of his backpack to shoot at pursuing all officers.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Hey, he looked like he kind of like pulled the
chamber back.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah, he's ready to roll. And then an off duty
officer put himself on duty and rammed into the motorcycle.
And that guy's a hero today. That guy probably saved
a life for two And now we're not sure the
update on the suspects condition, and it didn't look good

(37:26):
and I didn't see a lot of the deputies scrambling
to try to, you know, help this lad out. But
it's a it's another senseless shooting of another officer and
another family that has to go through this.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Sennon Sheriff Daike says, the suspect is reported to be
in stable condition.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Stable condition.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
And I think the same helicopter that Land did to
take Nunyas to the hospital is the same helicopter that
took this guy off the freeway as well. How about
being in that helicopter, you know, knowing this complete a
hole in the back has shot somebody and killed somebody
that you either worked with or knew, and you've got
to help and you've got to try to save his life. Man,

(38:10):
that's a special breed of people. So we're going to
have information all day long. There's going to be a
service that'll be very well attended. There are a lot
of people live in the Inland Empire who respect cops,
who are police officers, and it's going to be a
very sad week for that family. And coming up on

(38:30):
the holidays, you know, we've got Halloween, maybe he's got
young kids, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, the first Birthday, the
first Father's Day, all these first are complete nightmare for
this family. So please please do what you can to
keep this family in your prayers. We'll keep you updated

(38:50):
on the service. When this happens. You'll see a huge
contingency of officers from around the country, fire firemen and
firefighters from around the country as well, coming together to
show the family that this is a brother of theirs
that they lost. Very sad day here in southern California,

(39:13):
It's Convoy Show. We're live on KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 7 (39:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
