An LAPD officer was beaten to death by fellow officers during a training that simulated a mob attack, a new wrongful death claim filed by his mother claims.
Houston Tipping, 32, died three days after an on-duty accident at the department’s Elysian Park Academy on May 26.
Tipping was acting as a bike instructor in a scenario that involved grappling with another officer, LAPD said in a statement after his death.
At some point, “Officer Tipping fell to the floor and suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury,” police said.
Tipping’s mother, Shirley Huffman, filed a notice of claim against the city on Friday, alleging wrongful death and civil rights violations, the Los Angeles Times reported. Such claims are often precede lawsuits.
