SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — An assailant shot a Sacramento County, California, sheriff's deputy and a bystander, then carjacked two vehicles Friday morning, prompting a manhunt as the assailant fled through residential areas.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Lisa Bowman said the deputy was approaching a suspicious occupied vehicle in a parking lot when he was shot.
She could not say if the deputy shot back. He was taken to a hospital but Bowman said his condition was not immediately known.
She said a second person was then shot when they refused to give up the keys to a vehicle during an attempted carjacking.
The shooting happened around 10:30 a.m. in a commercial area of Sacramento.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic male in his 30s and Bowman said he was accompanied by a woman.
