In a gun battle that lasted scarcely 4 ½ minutes, four Newhall California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers were killed in the 1970 “Newhall Incident,” a tragedy that would forever impact the future of American policing.
The California Highway Patrol Newhall office, along with all CHP officers and other law enforcement members, remember four of their brothers killed during the infamous “Newhall Incident” 52 years ago this week.
