Summary: |
Deputy Sheriff Bob French was shot and killed outside of the Ramada Inn in the 2600 block of Auburn Boulevard while attempting to serve a warrant as part of an auto theft investigation.
Members of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Auto Theft Task Force had just taken two women into custody after observing them enter a stolen automobile. A search warrant was obtained for a hotel room as part of the ensuing investigation. As two members of the task force knocked on the room's door a male subject inside opened fire with a rifle, wounding two California Highway Patrol officers.
The man then opened fire from the room's balcony, killing Deputy French. The man was able to jump from the balcony and fled in a nearby car, leading officers on a pursuit before crashing. He exchanged shots with officers again before being wounded and taken into custody.
Two other subjects barricaded themselves inside the hotel.
