CARMICHAEL, Calif. — A California sheriff’s deputy has been wounded, a suspect is dead, and another was taken into custody Friday night after a shootout, according to reports.

The unidentified Sacramento County deputy, 47 years old, was a 15-year veteran who was undergoing surgery after the incident, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported.

The confrontation occurred about 8:15 p.m. in Carmichael, a suburb of Sacramento that has about 64,000 residents, according to FOX.

Other suspects were believed to remain at large. Residents near the crime scene were advised to stay inside and lock their doors, the report said.
