SACRAMENTO COUNTY (CBS13) – The latest on an officer-involved shooting in Sacramento County:

6:30 p.m.

The Ramada Inn has been deemed safe by Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies following a shooting earlier in the day that claimed the life of a Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputy and wounded two California Highway Patrol officers.

Investigators are not sure if a man who was arrested after a pursuit was the only person inside the room at the time of the shooting, but they do say he is the one who fired off the balcony and is believed to have shot deputy Bob French.

A procession of law enforcement vehicles left the hospital with the French’s body.

3:55 p.m.

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones has said a deputy has died as a result of the shooting.

Robert “Bob” French, a 21-year veteran, died on his way to the hospital after being shot in the chest. French was a training officer.

He is survived by his live-in girlfriend, adult children and his grandchildren.

“All agencies and departments lost a brother officer,” Jones said. “We’ll survive this, we will, as a community, we’ll survive together. We’ve been through it before, but it is painful. It will take a period of grieving. And we will come together and through it with courage and resolve.”

The two CHP officers who were wounded are expected to survive their injuries.

The weapon involved is believed to be a high-power rifle.

“The reality is if someone’s willing to take that first shot, there’s very little we can do in self-defense,” he said.

Authorities are saying there could be two other suspects still inside the Ramada Inn where officers were shot at.

Evacuations are not in place in the Arden Arcade area, authorities say. People are being told to shelter in place for now.

There is no timeline on how long people in the area will be in shelter-in-place orders.
