Report: Suspect in Calif. officer shootings surrenders Oct 26th 2013, 09:42 A wanted parolee accused of shooting a federal immigration officer and wounding three local police officers has reportedly surrendered and is in custody after an hours-long standoff in a Sacramento suburb. Samuel Nathan Duran, 32, surrendered early Saturday after police had surrounded him in a house he had barricaded himself inside, Fox40.com reported, citing officials in Roseville, a suburb about 20 miles northeast of the state capital. Roseville police Lt. Cal Walstad told reporters late Friday that officers had the suspect surrounded in a house and had spoken with him on the phone. Walstad said the federal immigration officer was shot in the leg as he and other officers made initial contact at about 3 p.m. with Duran, a wanted parolee. During a later exchange of gunfire, after Duran fled, two Roseville police officers were hit by gunshots -- one in the jaw and the other in the shoulder -- and a third officer sustained shrapnel wounds from rounds that hit near them, Walstad said. Two of the officers were listed in stable condition at Sutter Roseville Medical Center, and a third was in serious condition. Police Chief Daniel Hahn said the Roseville officers were all male and veteran members of the force. Hahn said none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. No civilian injuries have been reported. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said that agency's officer was stable and alert after being taken to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. Deborah Hoffman, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, confirmed that Duran is a parolee and that she has been asked not to provide any more information about why he had been imprisoned or when he was released. The incident created scenes of panic and chaos in a typically quiet middle class suburb of about 120,000. Walstad described multiple shooting sites as the suspect tried to escape a swarm of descending law enforcement agents, and reporters on the scene described hearing several volleys of gunfire. Walstad said Duran was believed to be carrying an "assault-type weapon." Law enforcement officers had been looking for Duran in the area for at least 10 days before finding him on Friday afternoon, Walstad said. When they found him, Walstad added, he opened fire, wounding the federal immigration officer, who was on the scene to provide support for the Roseville police. Walstad said the house the suspect was holed up in is on the corner of Sixth Street and Hampton Drive; when Duran first entered the home, the residents called 911, and police advised them to escape through a sliding glass door in the back.
