Alec Ouzounian, 40, of Rancho Santa Margarita, dies after another officer involved shooting



It seems like we are reporting that someone in Southern California has lost their life due to an officer involved shooting, and today in Orange County, it happened again.

 
Just a few minutes ago, the Orange County Sheriff's Department issued the below statement regarding the death of Alec Ouzounian, age 40, of Rancho Santa Margarita.
 
Now another "investigation" will get underway as different law enforcement agencies investigate one and other.
 
There HAS to be a better way to "investigate" these type of deaths.
 
Our system is broken. 
 
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (May12, 2015) – On Tuesday, May 12, 2015, a deputy-involved shooting occurred in the residence located at 28 Paseo Viento.  The victim of the shooting, Alec Ouzounian, 40, Rancho Santa Margarita, was transported by paramedics to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
 
At approximately 2:10 p.m., Orange County Sheriff’s deputies responded to 28 Paseo Viento regarding a subject attempting suicide.  Deputies arrived and entered the residence where they confronted Ouzounian, suffering from multiple self-inflicted stab wounds.  During the confrontation with Ouzounian, the deputy-involved shooting occurred.  No deputies were injured during the incident.
 
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigations is conducting the shooting investigation as is protocol for all Orange County Sheriff’s deputy-involved shootings.
