New York Times: CA Sheriff's Deputy is Charged With Faking Attack

Sukhdeep Gill, a sheriff’s deputy in Santa Clara County, Calif., said he had been walking back to his patrol car on a dark road near a reservoir when a silver sedan pulled up and cut its lights and someone inside fired at him from the passenger-side window.

“Shots fired! Shots fired!” he screamed on his department-issued radio.

When other officers arrived, swarming the area, Deputy Gill appeared to have been shot in the chest, where the bullet had been stopped by his body camera. Several other bullets had hit his patrol car, and Deputy Gill said he had fired two shots back at the sedan before it drove off.
