• One sheriff’s deputy was killed and two California police officers and one suspect were shot Wednesday following a stolen vehicle investigation that led officers on a car chase and later to a hotel where they were hit by the gunfire.
Dozens of police cars and hundreds of armed officers have surrounded the hotel, where authorities said there may be two more suspects inside after three were taken into custody, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Tony Turnbull said.
Two California Highway Patrol officers and one sheriff’s deputy were shot with a high-powered assault rifle and were in a hospital, Turnbull said.
