A Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy was killed Wednesday and two California Highway Patrol officers were injured in a shooting at a Sacramento hotel authorities believed to be the headquarters of a car theft ring. Deputy Robert French, 52, died after he was shot at a Ramada Inn at around noon local time, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said. "Words aren't going to make an appropriate appreciation of him as a man or his career," Jones said. The unidentified man suspected of killing French was shot by authorities and apprehended. When the officers returned to search the hotel and announced themselves, they were hit with gunfire coming from inside the room.
