Story highlights Two veteran correctional officers are in critical condition

Suspect is a known gang member and a registered sex offender, authorities say

(CNN) An alleged gang member opened fire while he was visiting a county jail in California, leaving two veteran correctional officers critically wounded, authorities said.

Officers Juanita Davila and Toamalama Scanlan were hospitalized after the shooting Saturday at the Fresno County Jail

The Fresno County sheriff's office is accepting donations on behalf of the two wounded officers and does not plan any changes in the handling of jail security, spokesman Tony Botti said Sunday.

"It is obviously a difficult time for all of us, especially for the family members of officers Scanlan and Davila," Botti said. "Many have asked if any immediate changes will be made at the jail in terms of security provisions. The answer is no, not at this time."

The office executive staff is still reviewing the circumstances surrounding the double shooting, Botti said.
