A man who allegedly fatally stabbed professional race car driver Bobby East at a Southern California gas station was later killed in a police shooting as authorities attempted to arrest him, according to a news release from the Westminster, California, Police Department.
Police responded to the gas station Wednesday evening and found East suffering from a wound to the chest, police said. He later died of his injuries.
East was one of the "most prolific drivers of his era," the United States Auto Club said in a statement. He had 56 USAC-sanctioned feature victories and three USAC national driving titles, the statement said.
