A San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy was shot and wounded as he served an eviction notice in San Bernardino on Tuesday morning, officials said.

The deputy was serving an eviction notice in the 1400 block of Date Street at 10:11 a.m. when an unknown shooter opened fire on the officer, said Cindy Bachman, a sheriff’s spokeswoman. The deputy was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. Bachman said initial reports indicated that he should survive. The deputy was not identified.

Bachman said at this stage she does not know what happened to the shooter or whether the deputy was able to discharge his weapon before or after being shot.
