Deputy listed in good condition after being shot in San Bernardino
A San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy ambushed as he was going to serve an eviction notice Tuesday was in good condition and a manhunt was underway for the suspects, officials said.
The deputy’s white police cruiser showed visible signs of gunfire with bullet holes dotting the front windshield. A search was underway for as many as two suspects in the shooting, authorities said.
The deputy was expected to survive, said Lori Miller, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department.
“He is listed as in good condition,” she said.
The deputy was serving an eviction notice in the 1400 block of Date Street in San Bernardino at 10:11 a.m. when an unknown shooter opened fire on the officer, said Cindy Bachman, a sheriff’s spokeswoman.
Bachman said at this stage she does not know whether the deputy was able to discharge his weapon before or after being shot.
