THIS MORNING, A SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHARES DEPUTY IS IN THE HOSPITAL. ANOTHER HAS DIED ALONG WITH THAT K-9 UNIT. DEIRDRE: IT ENDED AT CAL EXPO. THAT AREA IS STILL AN ACTIVE CRIME SCENE. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE FOR YOU. WE WILL START WITH BRIAN HICKEY AT THAT SCENE. BRIAN: THIS IS WHERE THAT INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME THE FLASHING LIGHTS, WHERE THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION CONTINUES INTO THIS DEADLY SHOOTOUT BETWEEN DEPUTIES AND A SUSPECT. ACCORDING TO SHERIFF SCOTT JONES, THIS STARTED AFTER 10:00 LAST NIGHT, WHEN DEPUTIES ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE SUSPECT. THEY SAY THE SUSPECT STOPPED FOR A MOMENT. THEY RECOGNIZE THAT SUSPECT AS A PAROLEE AND SAY THE SUSPECT TOOK OFF, LEADING THEM ON A PURSUIT WHICH ENDED HER WHEN THE SUSPECT CRASHED HIS CAR. AT THAT POINT, DEPUTIES GAVE HIM COMMANDS TO COME OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE DID NOT, THEY USED LESS THAN LETHAL WEAPONS TO SHOOT O THE BACK WINDOW OF HIS CAR. THE SUSPECT OPENED FIRE ON A K-9, SHOOTING AND KILLING THE DOG, THEN SHOOTING A DEPUTIES. TWO DEPUTIES WERE STRUCK. ONE DIED OF HIS INJURIES. BOTH DEPUTIES WERE TRANSPORTED BY THEIR COMRADE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. ONE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOSPITAL. THE SUSPECT ALSO KILLED BY MULTIPLE DEPUTIES RETURNING FIRE. THIS IS GOING TO BE A COMPLEX INVESTIGATION BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF ROUNDS FIRED. THERE WERE A LOT OF SHOOTING OFFICERS, A LOT OF SHOTS FIRED. CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATORS WANT TO DO THEIR BEST TO ACCOUNT FOR EACH SHOT. THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS TO GET THAT INFORMATION. SOME OF THOSE INTERVIEWS WILL TAKE TIME. BRIAN: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THAT SUSPECT IS HE IS A PAROLEE IN HIS 40’S. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT LED TO THAT INITIAL STOP, BUT THEY DID AT THAT POINT RECOGNIZE THIS PERSON, A PERSON KNOWN TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS PERSON WAS WANTED AT THE TIME. THAT IS PART OF THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION. THE FALLEN DEPUTY WAS A SIX YEAR VETERAN OF THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT. HE LEAVES BEHIND A WIFE AND INFANT. THE SHERIFF SAID WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT THEY WILL RELEASE HIS NAME. FO NOW, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY AS THEY MOUR THAT TERRIBLE LOSS. THE K-9 DOG ALSO KILLED ALO WITH THE SUSPECT. DEIRDRE: MIKE TESELLE’S CONTINUING COVERAGE NOW HE IS AT UC DAVIS MEDICAL CENTER. MIKE: THERE ARE SHARES DEPUTIES PARKED OUT FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL. THE SURVIVING DEPUTY WAS ULTIMATELY BROUGHT HERE, BUT EARLY THIS MORNING, AFTER THE SHOOTING, BOTH DEPUTIES WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL COME THE FALLEN DEPUTY LEAVING AN ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR SCENE OF A PROCESSION DELIVERING THE BODY TO THE CORNER’S OFFICE -- CORONER’S OFFICE. WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE PROCESSION. THIS WAS SHORTLY BEFORE 4:00 A.M. THIS MORNING. ONE OF THE MOVING THINGS ABOUT THIS PROCESSION IS, ONCE AGAIN, HOW QUICKLY NEIGHBORING AGENCIES AND FIREFIGHTING AGENCIES LINED TH OVERPASSES OF HIGHWAY 50, PAYING RESPECTS TO THIS FALLEN DEPUTY. THE BODY WAS MOVED FROM KAISER MORRIS HOSPITAL TO THE CORONER’S OFFICE THE SAME TIME THE OTHER DEPUTY WAS BROUGHT HERE. AGAIN, THIS SCENE BECOMING ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR. THIS DEPUTY IS T SIXTH SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHARES DEPUTY TO BE KILLED BY GUNFIRE SINCE 2006. YOU HAVE TO GO BACK T 1961 TO EQUAL THE NUMBE OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES KILLED BY GUNFIRE. AS F THAT K-9, THAT IS THE FOURTH SACRAMENTO COUNTY POLICE DOG TO DIE IN THE LINE OF DUTY SINCE THE DEPARTMENT BEGAN USING K- OFFICERS IN 1979. AS FOR THAT INJURED DEPUTY, WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON EXACTLY WHERE THAT OFFICER WAS SHOT AND THAT OFFICER’ CONDITION. WE ARE TOLD HE IS EXPECTED TO RECOVE
