SANTA ANA, Calif. — A replica handgun was found at the scene where a police officer fatally shot a 17-year-old girl after an encounter as both were driving on a Southern California freeway last week, authorities said Tuesday.
The replica was identical to a Beretta 92 FS handgun, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
An on-duty Fullerton officer was driving his K-9 dog to a veterinarian in his police SUV on Friday when he saw the teen driving at a high rate of speed, according to the release.
