LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy shot in an off-duty attack was remembered Monday as an inspiration to his family and colleagues for his positive attitude and devotion to public service. Mourners including hundreds of law enforcement members packed the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels for the funeral of Deputy Joseph Solano. Kolstov, 31, competed for years at Russian snowboarding championship meets and international competitions, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday. He was skateboarding with friends in downtown Los Angeles when a man drove up and shot him in the head without provocation, police said. After shooting Kolstov, Nelson drove several miles east to suburban Alhambra and shot Solano while the off-duty deputy waited in line at a Jack in the Box restaurant, investigators said.
