RUBIDOUX - A man suspected of shooting his wife while traveling on the 60 Freeway on Friday fired the gun in front of his three children, sheriff’s officials said Sunday.
Juan Camacho, 31, who was later shot by Riverside County sheriff’s deputies when he pointed a handgun at them, has been booked into Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside. He was held on suspicion of violating parole, attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, child endangerment and being a former felon in possession of a gun.

Sheriff’s officials released more details on the incident after they had the opportunity to interview Camacho in the hospital.

Camacho and Myra Becerra, 31, of West Covina were arguing while driving on the westbound 60 on Friday night. Camacho pulled out a gun and pointed it at Becerra, Riverside County sheriff’s deputies said.

During a struggle for the gun, Camacho shot Becerra in the stomach. The pair’s three children were inside the vehicle at the time. Deputies found the man on the property of a business in Rubidoux and ordered him to surrender. Camacho pulled out a handgun, and four deputies fired at him, wounding him, deputies said.

The deputies involved in the shooting have been placed on paid administrative leave.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
