P/O Skerski was a close friend and co-worker of mine since I have been stationed at the 15th district.
He was working an Overtime Detail from 6pm to 2am for the "Safe Streets Program", and responded to a Robbery In Progress call at 10:17pm. He and his partner arrived at the scene at 10:19pm, got out of their vehicle, the driver took the front and Skerski took the side/rear. As Skerski approached the rear door, it swung open with a B/M pointing a sawed-off shotgun at the Officer and had him at Point Blank Range. They estimate it was probably within 3 ft. The B/M pulled the trigger releasing Buckshot into the Officer's throat, then fired at the other office who was attempting to come from the front of the bar.
Witness's say that the two males were in the bar telling everyone "this isn't F*cking Haloween MutherF*ckers! Now put your wallets, money and jewelry in the bag before I blow your heads off!" The male even made one of the hostages tap the ATM Machine that was located in the bar. A female was in the bathroom and heard all of this going on, so she called 911 from the stall.
It is a great loss to all of us who knew and loved him. This job sucks sometimes!
