Officials: Coast Guardsman shot 2 colleagues, ambushed cops

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY/AP) — A search warrant is being executed in Chesapeake Thursday afternoon in connection to a local Coast Guardsman who authorities said shot two colleagues and ambushed police officers in Massachusetts.

Authorities allege 31-year-old Adrian Loya, of Chesapeake, shot two female coast guard personnel in Bourne, Ma. It happened around 2 a.m. Thursday at a Cape Cod condo where the two women lived. After the shooting, Loya allegedly lit a car on fire to block Bourne police from entering the complex and then ambushed the officers with gunfire.

Massachusetts police said they couldn’t get to an officer who was hit and bleeding for about 15 minutes. Loya was eventually cornered and cuffed.

The series of events left one of the women dead and the other woman and the police officer wounded. Their names haven’t been released.
