A sheriff’s deputy was killed and two California Highway Patrol officers wounded Wednesday during a stolen vehicle investigation in Sacramento County, authorities said. During the investigation, Turnbull said, authorities discovered the women were staying at the hotel, so the CHP officers went to their room to conduct a probation search. As the officers announced themselves, a man began firing through the hotel room door and walls, striking the two CHP officers, Turnbull said. Sheriff Jones said French was shot in the side and the bullet entered his chest cavity. This article was updated with additional details about the stolen vehicle investigation and comments from Sheriff Scott Jones.
