Two suspects in Wednesday's shooting of an Alameda County sheriff's deputy were found dead from what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said Thursday.
The deputy was shot Wednesday afternoon in the area of Dowe Avenue and Alvarado-Niles Road while serving an eviction at a business dwelling, police said.
After trying to negotiate with the suspects for several hours and obtaining search warrants, authorities entered the building and found the two suspects – a male and a female – dead, according to police.
The building is located in an industrial area and had "a converted area that was a living space," Union City Police Department Sgt. Jean Jimenez said.

No other victims or suspects were found at the location, police said.
The suspects' identities weren't immediately released. Police did say the suspects were in some sort of relationship.
Meanwhile, the wounded deputy underwent surgery Wednesday evening and is recovering, the sheriff's office said.
"He's still in the hospital," sheriff's office Capt. Tya Modeste said Thursday. "He is in good spirits. Right now he's doing well, and we are very happy and thankful for that."
