ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - Elk Grove Police said an officer shot and killed a man after the man allegedly fired a handgun at law enforcement following a pursuit through southern Sacramento County late Saturday evening.

 No officers or deputies involved were injured and the deceased suspect has not been identified.

According to Elk Grove Police, the chase started around 11:45 p.m. Saturday near Spengler and Auberry drives after an Elk Grove Police Department officer attempted to stop a Ford Explorer with no license plate.

 The driver refused to stop and led officers on a pursuit through the southern part of Sacramento County; Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office deputies joined the vehicle in pursuit, according to Elk Grove Police.

 The driver fired at pursuing officers and deputies as the Explorer reached the Sunrise Greens Drive and Elsie Avenue area, ultimately hitting a Sacramento County Sheriff’s vehicle, according to police. The pursuit continued northbound on Highway 99 before the suspect exited onto Florin Road.

 At 69th Street and Lemon Hill Avenue, the suspect attempted a U-turn, according to police, but an Elk Grove officer rammed the suspect’s vehicle with their patrol car. A second Elk Grove officer exited his patrol vehicle and fired his weapon at the vehicle, according to police. The initial officer who rammed the suspect’s car also fired their gun, striking the suspect, according to police. A female passenger was also in the car but was not injured.

 A handgun was recovered as officers removed the suspect from the vehicle to provide medical aid, according to Elk Grove Police.

 Because the shooting happened in Sacramento, the Sacramento Police Department will lead the investigation. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is also conducting its own separate investigation.

The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, in accordance with department policy.

According to the news release, investigators will release available video footage, including body-worn cameras and in-car cameras, “as soon as possible.” Two independent reviews of the incident will take place, one by Elk Grove Police Department’s Professional Standards Bureau and another by the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.

It was the first officer-involved shooting for Elk Grove police in two years. In February, three Elk Grove Department officers wounded a man suspected of killing a Rancho Cordova woman following a vehicle pursuit. 

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article mentioned a second officer-involved shooting at a Holiday Inn Express in Elk Grove. The Sacramento County Coroner's Office never confirmed whether it was an officer or the suspect who fired the fatal shot.
