FLORIN, Calif. (KCRA) — A man was taken to the hospital after being shot by deputies during a traffic stop in south Sacramento on Monday, the sheriff’s office said.
The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. near Elk Grove Florin Road and Tiogawoods Drive, south of Gerber Road.
The sheriff’s office said two deputies on patrol made the traffic stop after seeing a vehicle that was involved in an ongoing felony investigation, and that led to the driver being shot.
Both deputies fired their weapons and struck the suspect, the sheriff’s office said. The deputies began providing medical attention and the man was later taken to a hospital.
His firearm was located at the scene.
Both deputies are safe and were not hurt, the sheriff’s office said.
A sheriff’s office spokesperson said the office did not know the extent of the man’s injuries, whether he fired a gun, or how many shots were fired in all.
The man was the sole occupant of the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
