ICE agent, two police officers shot by fugitive in Roseville (CA)

Law enforcement authorities are swarming a neighborhood in the Sacramento suburb of Roseville searching for a suspect after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer and two police officers were shot and wounded.

In a statement, ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice says the officer is stable and alert after being taken to a local hospital.

Sacramento County Sheriff's Sgt. Lisa Bowman says deputies were dispatched shortly after 3 p.m. Friday, when Roseville police requested help for an officer-involved shooting. KCRA-TV showed aerial images of dozens of law enforcement officers converging on a neighborhood in Roseville, about 20 miles northeast of the state capital.

Authorities just released details about the shooter. They describe as an armed Hispanic man wearing a dark colored beanie, grey short-sleeved shirt and white pants.

Police said an additional two police officers were shot during the search for the suspect. One of the officers was confirmed to be with the Roseville Police Department, but the other officer's affiliation was unknown.

There was no word on the condition of the two police officers shot by the fugitive.

Calls to Roseville police were warning residents to stay inside and saying the suspect is armed and dangerous.

Thanks, amom...He came out.

excerpt:

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — The gunman in a violent confrontation that wounded a federal immigration officer and three local police officers surrendered early Saturday after an hours-long standoff in a Sacramento suburb, authorities said.

The suspect, 32-year-old Samuel Nathan Duran, would be booked in Roseville's jail and then taken to Placer County jail, according to city officials. He surrendered at 12:30 a.m. Saturday.

The shootings happened Friday before the standoff occurred.

The federal immigration officer was shot in the leg as he and other officers made initial contact at about 3 p.m. with Duran, a wanted parolee, Roseville police Lt. Cal Walstad said.

During a later exchange of gunfire, after Duran fled, two Roseville police officers were hit by gunshots — one in the jaw and the other in the shoulder — and a third officer sustained shrapnel wounds from rounds that hit near them, Walstad said.

Two of the officers were listed in stable condition at Sutter Roseville Medical Center, and a third was in serious condition.

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
