California Deputies Killed in Shootout, Another Officer And Civilian Wounded
Two California deputies have died in a shootout with a heavily armed man and woman that also wounded another officer and a civilian.
The male suspect identified as Marcelo Marquez, 34, in Friday’s morning attack has been apprehended by SWAT team officers at a home in Auburn during a standoff, according to KCRA-TV.
The shooters, including a female suspect also in custody, were armed with an AR-15-type assault rifle and wounded a civilian during an attempted carjacking, authorities said.
Danny Oliver, 47, a 15-year veteran of the Sacramento force, died after being shot in his patrol car while responding to a call about a strange vehicle. He leaves behind a wife and two children.
Two deputies in nearby Placer County were also shot during the rampage, and one of them died from injuries, Dena Erwin, a spokeswoman with Placer County Sheriff’s Officer, confirmed.
That deputy has not been identified.
A civilian who refused to give up his car during a carjacking attempt in Placer County by the two suspects was also shot in the head. That person's condition was not reported by authorities.
