OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/28/2021, at approximately 9:00 a.m., California Highway Patrol officers responded to the interchange of the Glendale Freeway (CA-2) and Ventura Freeway (CA-134) in Glendale after receiving reports of a white sedan stopped and blocking lanes on the transition road from southbound CA-2 to eastbound CA-134. The disabled or stopped vehicle caused authorities to close the transition road.
CHP officers encountered an unidentified woman outside or near the white sedan. According to CHP, the woman allegedly had a handgun in each hand. Police alleged that officers ordered her to drop the weapons and that she did not comply.
CHP officers then opened fire, striking the woman. After she was shot, she went over the side of the freeway overpass and fell onto the westbound CA-134 below. CHP Officer Chris Baldonado said investigators had not yet determined precisely why or how she went over the overpass following the gunfire. Officers went to the freeway below and provided medical aid.
The woman was transported to a hospital, where she died. The shooting and subsequent fall resulted in an extensive closure of the westbound CA-134 near Harvey Drive and the CA-2 interchange while investigators processed the scene.
