Chase Suspect Charged With Attempted Murder
WEST COVINA (AP) — A man who led police on a high-speed Southern California freeway chase following gunfire during a shooting range robbery has been charged with attempted murder and other crimes that could send him to prison for life.
During the Monday morning incident, investigators say Trevor Bakgwan Kuk took aim with an assault weapon and fired at a Los Angeles sheriff's helicopter and a West Covina police officer after robbing the Burro Shooting Range near Arcadia.
Prosecutor James Daloisio says the 27-year-old Arcadia resident was charged Wednesday with multiple felonies, including two counts of attempted murder of a police officer, commercial burglary, grand theft, evading arrest and assault with an assault pistol.
Arraignment has been postponed until Sept. 15 in Pomona Superior Court.
