Tragic Day for Oakland Cops

OAKLAND, Calif. – Oakland police are backing off an earlier statement that a fourth officer shot Saturday had died.

Oakland police department spokesman Jeff Thomason said 41-year-old Officer John Hege was pronounced brain dead but was still on life support Sunday afternoon.

Thomason said that a final decision was still being made about donating Hege's organs.

Authorities say a 26-year-old parolee opened fire on Hege and 40-year-old Sgt. Mark Dunakin after they pulled him over on Saturday, killing Dunakin.

Suspect Lovelle Mixon was slain later that afternoon in a gunfight with police that left two more officers dead.

Thomason identified those officers as 43-year-old Sgt. Ervin Romans and 35-year-old Sgt. Daniel Sakai.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
