A Southern California sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed Friday, just two weeks after another deputy in the department was slain in the line of duty.
The suspect is in custody, authorities said. Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Darnell Calhoun was fatally shot Friday afternoon in the city of Lake Elsinore, authorities said on Twitter. He was taken to the hospital in serious condition.
Few details were immediately available, including the suspect’s identity and what prompted the shooting. It was not clear if the suspect also was injured. The sheriff’s office plans to hold a news conference Friday night.
Lake Elsinore is about 55 miles (88 kilometers) southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
