Officer Charles Sorenson was shot and killed while chasing a suspected armed robber. He was on patrol when he spotted a suspect vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. He gave chase to the vehicle until it crashed and began chasing the suspect on foot. A second suspect ambushed him and shot him twice at point blank range. The two suspects then stole Officer Sorenson's cruiser and led other officers on a chase at speeds of 130 mph. The suspects were finally stopped when they rammed a police roadblock, killing Deputy Hale Humphrey of the Solano County Sheriff's Department. Both juvenile suspects were apprehended and charged in the deaths of both officers.
