The words Newhall and tragedy became forever synonymous on April 6, 1970. On that day four young California Highway Patrol officers lost their lives in a 4-1/2 minute gun battle that left four women widows and seven children, ranging in age from 9 months to 4 years, without fathers. "
CHP: The Newhall Incident
One of the CHP officers was killed in his attempt at reloading his .357 magnum revolver. It was reported that he had the empty cases in his pocket.
Sometimes 6 is not enough and sometimes four Highway Patrol Officers is not enough. Be real safe out there.
