SAN DIEGO (AP) ? An officer shot in the face in an apparently unprovoked attack died Sunday, and investigators found a suicide note left by the suspect who was killed as police tried to arrest him, authorities said.

Jeremy Henwood, a four-year veteran of the department, died a day after being shot while sitting alone in his patrol car in San Diego, Police Chief William Lansdowne said at an afternoon news conference at police headquarters.

"I could tell you that this was a senseless killing ... this was an assassination," Lansdowne said.

Henwood, 36, was a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves. He had recently returned from a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan.

The armed suspect, Dejon Marquee White, 23, was tracked down by police after the attack Saturday and shot to death by officers as he tried to avoid arrest. Investigators said they had no motives for the shooting of the police officer. White wrote a two-page suicide note discovered at his apartment, but it didn't say how he was going to kill himself or why, according to police.

White was a suspect in another shooting earlier Saturday at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant 14 miles away in El Cajon and had eluded police after a high-speed chase.

Shortly after the restaurant shooting, Henwood was either stopped or moving slowly when a black Audi with temporary plates flashed its headlights and came alongside.

"According to witnesses, the suspect vehicle pulled up on the left side of the officer's vehicle, pointed a gun out of the passenger window and fired at the officer," a police statement said.

The witnesses used Henwood's radio to call for help and gave him first aid until paramedics arrived and took the injured officer to a local hospital.

A half hour after the attack, officers tracked the Audi to an apartment complex and saw a man with a shotgun get in the car and start to drive away. Several squad cars blocked the road and converged on him to make the arrest.

"The suspect grabbed the shotgun and several officers fired their weapons at him," the statement said.

The Audi rolled backward down the street and crashed into a fence. Officers pulled White from the car and called for paramedics. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A neighbor at the apartment complex told police that White said he had shot a police officer.

Police believed a second suspect was holed up inside White's apartment but found the unit was empty. Investigators said later that White was acting alone.

Martin Hanna, the victim of the earlier shooting at the restaurant in El Cajon, was sitting with his girlfriend in his vehicle in the parking lot when he was approached by a man carrying a shotgun, police said. The man shot Hanna in the face with a single round before he fled in the Audi, they said.

Investigators had not established any relationship between White and Hanna, who was expected to survive.

Minutes later, an officer who had no knowledge of the restaurant shooting spotted the Audi speeding and gave chase but abandoned the pursuit as it reached speeds of 100 mph.

White had a minor criminal record that included resisting arrest and petty theft, Lansdowne said.

"We are saddened by this senseless and cowardly act that has taken away a true hero," said a written statement from Brian R. Marvel, president of the San Diego Police Officers Association, which established a trust fund Sunday for Henwood's family.

"Having recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan, Officer Henwood was continuing to serve the community just as he had served his country ? with honor and respect. He will be remembered for those qualities," he said.

Henwood's killing comes as the department copes with the recent deaths of two off-duty officers. Det. Donna Williams, 52, was stabbed to death July 18 along with her daughter. Williams' 24-year-old son, Brian, who had a history of mental illness, was charged with two counts of murder.

David Hall, a 14-year department veteran, died Aug. 1 of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Hall, a motorcycle traffic officer, was awaiting trial on drunken driving and hit-and-run charges.

Henwood was the second San Diego officer to be killed while on duty in the last ten months. In July, three people were charged with murder in connection with an October 2010 shootout that killed Officer Christopher Wilson, a 17-year department veteran, and two others. The 50-year-old father of two was the first San Diego officer to be killed in the line of duty in more than six years.

"This tragedy is another grim reminder that our police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our community, and we are grateful for their courage and sacrifice," San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders said in a statement Sunday.

Henwood's parents arrived in San Diego Sunday from Texas. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Tedisco praises the recent signing of law to increase criminal penalties against animal fighting

ALBANY ? Assemblyman Jim Tedisco (R-Schenectady-Saratoga) came out in full support of the recent signing of a bill he co-sponsored to increase criminal penalties for animal fighting in New York State.

June 1 marked New York?s first ever State Animal Advocacy Day, which drew hundreds of animal advocates to Albany to lobby for stricter laws against those accused of animal cruelty and abuse.

That day, Tedisco made bill A.4407, which increases penalties for spectators at animal fighting events to a class-B misdemeanor punishable by up to three months in jail and a $500 fine for the first offense and up to a year in jail with a $1,000 fine for a second offense, a priority on his agenda.

On August 2, Tedisco wrote to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo urging him to sign the bill into State law after news reports suggested evidence of an organized criminal infrastructure in the animal fighting industry.

Gov. Cuomo responded positively to Tedisco?s support of the bill, which Cuomo signed into law earlier this week.

Debt ceiling votes herded without carrots, sticks (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Speaker John Boehner was desperate in his search for votes from his party to prevent a first-ever government default. But despite what a GOP freshman called "hour by hour by hour" pressure from the Ohio Republican leader and his lieutenants, rank-and-file holdouts said they were neither offered carrots nor threatened with sticks to change their minds. That's a major transformation from the not too distant past.

There were no promises of new bridges or campaign help. No threats to boot members off coveted committees. And, if some of those tactics had been tried, it's unlikely that many House Republican tea party supporters would have been swayed. They came to Washington disdainful of such wheeling and dealing and promising to fix what members of both parties had come to describe as a culture of corruption.

Boehner, who has risen, fallen and risen again in the House GOP hierarchy, has long shunned earmarked "pet projects" and had no objection when more conservative deficit hawks succeeded in getting them banned.

One GOP holdout on the debt bill, Rep. Connie Mack of Florida, recalled a time early in his career when he was withholding his vote from the Republican leadership and saw "The Hammer" ? then-Majority Leader Tom DeLay ? walking toward him in the House chamber.

"He came over with a finger pointing at my chest," the four-term lawmaker said. "He was telling me what I'm going to do and why. He said, `You won't make it long in this town'" by defying the party leadership.

Mack doesn't remember what the issue was, but he remembers not budging.

"The ways of the past are gone," Mack said. "There hasn't been a threat of taking something away or promising something. I can remember the hammer coming down on me. It's completely different, much more open and honest."

That doesn't mean there wasn't pressure, especially when Boehner had to postpone a vote on his legislation last week for lack of Republican support, and faced questions about his hold on the speakership.

"There was a constant barrage, hour by hour by hour," said freshman Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., who with Mack and others still voted against Boehner.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said the issue of campaign help never was raised.

"I didn't see or hear any of that," he said. "I thought they would break my knuckles and twist my arm. I saw the speaker in the cloakroom. He raised his eyebrows, to say `Where are you at?' I said, `I support you, I just don't like your bill.' He said, `That's what I thought. I'll leave you alone.' There was no `I got a deal for you.'"

Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., says it was Boehner five years ago who told him that he was losing his seat on the Judiciary Committee for "bad behavior." Flake irritated party leaders by regularly railing against earmarks ? pet projects like bridges or highways that were offered to members in return for their votes. Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said Flake lost his seat because Republicans went from the majority to the minority, and had fewer positions.

Southerland, the Florida freshman, said the old ways wouldn't work with the new Republicans.

"This is kind of a new breed," Southerland said. "My no is no and my yes is yes."

Southerland was part of a chaotic scene last week when Boehner appeared to lose control of his party. He had to initially postpone a vote on his bill and rewrite it to appease tea partyers and other conservatives, who demanded inclusion of a proposed constitutional amendment for a balanced budget.

Southerland was among the 15 to 20 GOP members, many of them freshmen, who were summoned to the office of party whip Kevin McCarthy to meet with Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and McCarthy.

Dozens of reporters blocked the first floor hallway outside the office. Adding to the chaos, 19 boxes of pizza were brought in on a dolly, part of the regular feeding frenzy that McCarthy sponsors when the House has evening sessions.

"It would take a lot more than a deep dish to persuade me to vote for the bill," Southerland said.

Still, Southerland praised Boehner's approach, saying he focused on "what he could do to make the bill palatable to us. It wasn't a pep talk. It was, how can we get to a solution that would get our support."

And there were moments to relieve the pressure. At a Republican meeting the morning after the postponement, one lawmaker quipped to party leaders, "Next time feed the guys you know are voting with you."

Boehner got his bill passed Friday by a narrow margin, 218-210. He did it by adding the balanced budget amendment as a trigger for a second round of budget cuts. That provision didn't survive in the final compromise.

Five-term Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, who was around for DeLay's hardball approach, said, "They didn't put a lot of pressure on me. It's kind of a different tone."

He spoke with Boehner for 10 minutes on Sunday, and said the speaker "was asking us to search our conscience. I don't think in that conversation he was pushing for a vote. It was more of a conversation about overall strategy."

Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., agreed. "There was no arm twisting," he said. "I was not offered any kind of plums and wasn't threatened either. We'll see if there's a price to pay. I know that's not the way it used to work."

Broun, like King, still voted against Boehner's bill last week and against the final compromise this week.
