Deputies mistakenly shoot innocent hostages

Some sheriff's deputies are accused of gunning down two innocent people.

Los Angeles County Sheriff John Scott says his deputies have experienced "a police officer's greatest nightmare" - gunning down an innocent person.

Monday night, deputies responding to a hostage situation fired at a wounded, bloody man rushing out of a West Hollywood apartment and the man running behind him.

They turned out to be escaping hostages.

The man killed was 30-year-old John Winkler, an aspiring TV producer.

The other hostage was shot in the leg and is in stable condition.
