New Allegations Against Erick Gelhaus Added to Andy Lopez Lawsuit
SANTA ROSA (BCN) More than 100 people packed the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors chambers this afternoon to continue their protest of the killing of 13-year-old Andy Lopez by a sheriffs deputy in October.

The 20-page amended complaint alleges Sonoma County was aware Gelhaus had racist and extremist tendencies and beliefs, and attended and was an instructor at a shooting academy whose founder held extremist and homophobic, racist and separatist views.
The complaint alleges Gelhaus was a regular contributor to online shooting and firearms tactics magazines and blogs, and he instructed and advised others on questionable tactics, including how an officer must respond to justify shooting a kid with a toy gun.
After Gelhaus shot Lopez, he immediately tried to erase, conceal and otherwise destroy evidence of his racist, separatist and extremist beliefs, and he wrongfully erased his own commentary, postings in chat rooms and other writings in an effort to conceal his beliefs, according to the amended complaint.
