LOS ANGELES — The gunman who killed two El Monte police officers Tuesday when they responded to a call at a motel was on probation for a gun charge at the time of the shooting, court records show.
The officers were identified Wednesday afternoon as Cpl. Michael Paredes and Officer Joseph Santana.
The man’s mother, Lynn Covarrubias, confirmed Wednesday that her son Justin Flores was killed by police in the shooting.
