The Yuba County Sheriff’s Department has released the names of the deputies involved in the fatal shooting of a suspect earlier this week near Oregon House. Phillip Bronson, a 14-year deputy with the department, and 10-year veteran Andrew Everhart were both shot and wounded during an exchange of gunfire with 33 year-old Mark Anthony Sanchez. Sanchez was killed. Crime Analyst Leslie Carbah says it was a third deputy, 22-year veteran Daniel Harris, who pulled the two injured deputies to safety…
Bronson and Everhart reportedly confronted Sanchez in an open area near a Rastafarian Church on Marysville Road Tuesday morning, a brief foot-pursuit led up a hill into a residence where the shots were fired. Harris did not discharge his weapon, but Carbah says he is a hero for going into harm’s way to pull his brothers out…
Harris could be back to work over the weekend. Bronson and Everhart have been upgraded to “good” condition at Sutter Roseville Hospital. Bronson has been moved from Intensive Care to a private room.
