UPDATE: Two Deputies Killed In Sacramento, Placer Counties; Suspect In Custody
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Authorities are saying that at least three officers and one civilian have been shot in two different incidents Friday.
The incident started near Arden Way and Howe Avenue. Lisa Bowman with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department says that around 10:30 a.m. an officer responded to a report of a suspicious person inside of a vehicle. The suspect shot the deputy at least once during the confrontation.
Bowman says the suspect then fled the scene and tried to steal a car, only to shoot the person. The suspect then went to steal a truck and was successful.
A Blue Alert was issued by the California Highway Patrol to be on the lookout for the stolen truck, but it has since been recovered.
Bowman later said that they received “credible information” from a park ranger that the suspect was seen in Carmichael changing clothes. A female passenger is said to be in the truck with the suspect.
Placer County Sheriff’s later confirmed that the crush of police activity in Auburn was related to the incident in Sacramento. Deputies say they are seeking the same suspect.
California Highway Patrol later said that a total of three officers, two in Placer County and one in Sacramento, have been shot in the incidents.
There has been no word on the extent of the injuries on any of the shooting victims.
All Auburn schools, including Placer High School, Chana High School and Maidu High School, are on lockdown, Placer Unified officials confirm.
