Pictured: Cop who was shot dead on duty by fellow officers 'arresting him for explicit sexual relationship with girl, 17'
Still....did they have to handle it this way?Albert Covarrubias Jr, 29, who worked for Santa Maria police in California, was killed as officers tried to arrest him while he manned a DUI checkpoint in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The motorcycle traffic officer, a newlywed who had been with the department for four years, was declared dead after emergency surgery.

The shooting came after Covarrubias had learned of the investigation into his relationship and it became necessary to arrest him at once, police said.
They had discovered an 'inappropriate' and 'very explicit' relationship had been going on.
