A man who allegedly fired on three Alameda County Sheriff's deputies responding to a report of domestic violence just after midnight in San Lorenzo is now in custody.
About 1:21 a.m. Saturday, three deputies went to an apartment on Ashland Avenue in San Lorenzo and made brief contact with Raqee Ansarullah, 21, at the door of the apartment, the sheriff's department said in a statement.
Moments after slamming the door on them, Ansarullah reopened it and fired a semi-automatic handgun at the deputies, according to Saturday's statement. They returned fire and then retreated from the door, but the shots continued, according to the statement.
Ansarullah then jumped from a balcony and hid in nearby bushes, but he emerged a short time later with his hands up and surrendered to deputies, according to the statement.
