Sheriff's were responding to a call about a possible drunken driver on Long Beach Boulevard. The driver was placed, unhandcuffed, in the back seat of the patrol car. He was cooperative at first, but then became involved in a struggle and bit the deputy on his left bicep before trying to grab his gun. The deputy fired three shots at the unarmed man. The man, an unlicensed driver identified only as Hispanic and about 42 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
