Shooting Kills Double-Homicide Suspect, Injures Two Sacramento Police Officers

Sacramento police say a suspect wanted in a double-homicide has been killed in a shootout that also left two officers injured.

Police said the two officers were shot late Thursday morning but are recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.

The police department said on its official Twitter account that the shooting near police headquarters in south Sacramento involved a suspect wanted in a double killing last week. They did not immediately name the suspect or the officers.

The shootout came as hundreds of law enforcement officers were in nearby Roseville for the memorial service for Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Robert French, who was killed in a shootout last week in which the suspect also died.
