It happened just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. Law enforcement officers received a call to be on the lookout for a man involved in multiple hit-and-run collisions in Lompoc.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies spotted the suspect on a nearby street. Investigators say they are sill trying to determine exactly what happened next, but two deputies opened fire.
