A Homeland Security agent is recovering after he and five local law enforcement officials were wounded during a shootout Friday in suburban Sacramento, the Associated Press reports.
The agent was hospitalized in serious condition this weekend after he was shot in the leg. Four of the officers were wounded by shrapnel and were treated and released. Another officer suffered a jaw wound.
The suspect, Nathan Duran, 32, is accused of attempted murder after he triggered an hour-along standoff that forced the evacuation of nearby homes.
The agent, whose name wasn’t released, was chasing Duran on foot when the suspect shot him.
