Wow. How did he think he could get away with that? I've heard people say things like: "if you end up shooting an intruder into your home, make sure you drag the body outside before calling the police". And they have no idea how much information the forensic investigator can get out of a single drop of blood, or a single bullet hole (just as an example). But a cop would know all about how actions can be reconstructed later, especially if there is lots of evidence, like here, with bullet holes, blood trails etc.

Sorry OP title to thread should be "Stupidity Lead to Deputy Being Arrested and Fired" in order to have a shooting someone ELSE must be shooting at you. Not you shooting yourself. Reminds me of a LA School PD officer that did somethin similar. He not only was fired but got the bill for ALL of the resources that responded if I recall correctly

OK- I may be a bit old school, but I don't like that fuzzy thing on his chin for one thing- not on a uniformed officer.
As for his psychotic episode, I'll bet $100.00 he was in some other kind of trouble and wanted to be perceived as a victim-hero. Or maybe he was that officer- you know, the one no one really likes. Those types tend to pull stupid crap like this.
We got rid of one many years ago (before dash cams) who was calling in pursuits, but never seemed to catch them or be in the vicinity of other units. He finally screwed up when several officers saw him running code, then minutes later calling in a pursuit. No one ever saw another vehicle.
