Officer Involved Shooting In South Valley Ruled Self Defense

Wednesday, August 08, 2007

The Hanford police swat team acted in self defense when officers shot and killed a murder suspect in Kings County.

That's the ruling from the Kings County district attorney's office.

The DA's office has closed its investigation in the death of Abel Gonzales. He was killed by swat officers back in June.

Gonzales reportedly pointed a gun at officers who tried to take him into custody.

He was a suspect in the murder of a woman whose body was found a day earlier inside a truck at 13th and Iona Street.

A trail of blood led investigators into several orchards nearby where they eventually found Gonzales.
