CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif. — A Citrus Heights man is dead and two police officers are injured after a domestic disturbance took a deadly turn Saturday. Citrus Heights police received a call for help on Holly Springs Court at about 2:22 p.m.
When officers arrived at about 2:30, they contacted an intoxicated man in a “sort of alleyway” behind the address, police Sgt. Lee Herrington said. Officers described the man as belligerent, and a fight began within moments. Herrington provided no details about exactly what happened during the fight, but police confirmed late Saturday that the suspect was shot in the torso by one of the officers.
One of the officers, a 43-year-old female, was shot in the leg. The other officers, a 30-year-old male, received a “blunt force” wound to the forehead.
“I really don’t have any information right now about what force was used,” Herrington said. “I can tell you this happened very quickly.”
