Shot by George Bush: Sgt. Tom Lake’s Survival & The Manhunt That Followed
from The Brighter Side of Blue Podcast · host The Brighter Side of Blue
Retired SLMPD Sgt. Tom Lake and Detective Jeff Stege walk us through the chaotic 24 hours that began with a South City carjacking, a murdered locksmith, and a suspect named George Bush—and ended with Sgt. Lake being ambushed at a red light and a city-wide hunt to stop a violent spree killer. Lake recounts the shooting, the scramble for help, and the aftermath; Stege lays out the investigative breadcrumb trail from Scanlan Ave. to the takedown. It’s brotherhood, black humor, and raw truth—told by the cop who lived it and the detective who chased it.
