Police in Union City on Thursday said the two suspects they believe shot an Alameda County sheriff’s deputy when he served an eviction notice Wednesday afternoon died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds in a warehouse where authorities engaged in an hours-long standoff.
Authorities said that the two suspects — a man and a woman — were in some sort of a relationship and appear to have been living in the space where the standoff took place.
The incident started Wednesday afternoon when Alameda County deputies in the area of 33000 block of Dowe Avenue serving an eviction notice and someone opened fire on them. One deputy was injured in the shooting. A source told KPIX the deputy’s arm was broken in the shooting and required surgery.
The deputy was taken Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, where he was listed in stable condition and was reportedly in good spirits following successful surgery. The deputy injured has not been identified.
