The father of a slain California officer says he will never blame authorities for her death after it took 45 minutes to rescue her as a man with a high-powered rifle kept them at bay.
Kelley and Denis O'Sullivan, the parents of slain Sacramento Police Officer Tara O'Sullivan, hold hands during a news conference in Sacramento on Tuesday.
The shooter kept firing, and police officers had to wait 45 minutes for an armored vehicle to arrive before they could reach her. It would take police officers nearly eight hours to capture the suspect, 45-year-old Adel Sambrano Ramos.Prosecutors allege Ramos had two AR-15-style rifles that are illegal in California. Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Hahn has said patrol car doors and protective vests would not have protected officers from bullets fired from the high-powered rifle.
But Tuesday, Denis O’Sullivan said any notion that police officers are responsible for his daughter’s death is “extremely offensive and hurtful.”
