SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Officials say they have apprehended a suspect in the fatal shooting of one deputy and the shooting of two other deputies and a bystander.

Placer County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Dena Erwin says 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez was taken alive Friday afternoon from a home in Auburn.

The shooting spree spanned 30 miles through two California counties.

Marquez was taken in at a home about 30 miles northwest of the Sacramento neighborhood where a Sacramento County deputy was killed earlier in the day.

The condition of the other two deputies and the bystander was not immediately known.
