“It is currently an active critical incident,” the Sheriff’s Department said.

The shooting occurred just before 9 a.m. in the 9000 block of Marysville Road in Oregon House, a community northeast of Marysville.

The shooting comes a day after two police officers were struck by gunfire during a struggle with a suspect in Los Banos, Calif.

The suspect was also shot and died at a hospital. The Los Banos officers suffered severe injuries, but were expected to survive, police Cmdr. Ray Reyna said Tuesday.
