Police in California are on the hunt for two suspects they describe as "heavily armed and dangerous" after they allegedly shot three police deputies and one civilian bystander on Friday.
"Investigation is still very active & ongoing," the California Highway Patrol tweeted. "Suspect search is ongoing. Multiple agencies helping locate suspects."
"The mayhem began with the shooting of a Sacramento sheriff's deputy at about 10:27 a.m., and was followed by the shooting of two Placer County sheriff's deputies about an hour later in Auburn. "The reports came as law enforcement agencies from throughout the region raced to different shooting scenes in search of the guman, who was believed to be armed with a rifle and a pistol. "At about 1:30 p.m., authorities were searching near the Gold Country Fairgrounds for the suspect, as well as on Belmont Drive near Placer High School."
