At least three law enforcement officers were shot — one in the head — during a confrontation with an arson suspect in the town of Minkler, east of Fresno.
According to the Fresno Bee, four people were rushed to a hospital, including two Fresno County sheriff’s deputies and a police officer from the town of Reedley.
Their conditions were unknown, but one of the deputies apparently suffered life-threatening wounds to his head, the Bee said.
The shooting suspect is a man wanted on suspicion of arson, officials said, and he is holed up in a home in Minkler, where the shooting occurred.
The Associated Press reported the home is being surrounding by law enforcement officials.
