A shooting during a nearly 10-hour standoff in Salinas has left a man dead and a deputy injured, authorities said Wednesday.
The incident was reported at 9 a.m. when the suspect barricaded himself inside a home and started shooting after he was served eviction papers, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office said.
Law enforcement officers initially responded to reports of gunfire at a home near East Market and Sun streets. A responding deputy was shot and rushed to a hospital. The deputy was in surgery late Wednesday and is expected to survive, officials said.
The area of the standoff was ordered to shelter in place while federal, state, and local law enforcement descended on the scene and tried to negotiate with the man inside the home.
The negotiations stretched on for hours and ended just after 6 p.m. when the sheriff reported the suspect had been shot and killed.
