Two San Bernardino police officers were shot Wednesday afternoon while trying to arrest a man suspected of shooting a county sheriff’s deputy the day before, authorities said.
San Bernardino Police Chief Eric McBride identified the suspect Wednesday night as Ervin Olikong, 34, a gang member with an extensive criminal history.
Olikong was shot during the encounter and died at the scene, authorities said.
San Bernardino police had him under surveillance and SWAT officers moved in Wednesday afternoon after deciding that it was the best chance to bring him into custody, McBride said.
