Doorbell video shows suspect opening fire on sheriff's deputies after chase ends in Adelanto

ADELANTO, Calif. (KABC) -- A man opened fire on sheriff's deputies Thursday night after a chase ended in the High Desert city of Adelanto, where the incident was captured on a nearby resident's doorbell camera.

Deputies in Victorville attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle shortly after 10 p.m., according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The driver of the vehicle refused to pull over, authorities said, and a pursuit ensued. The suspect later crashed in a dirt field near the intersection of Highway 395 and Seneca Road and began running on foot through the nearby neighborhood.

According to Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Gloria Huerta, deputies returned fire after the armed man shot at them.

The suspect was wounded in the exchange, Huerta said. He was transported to a hospital in unknown condition. His identity was not immediately released.

No deputies were injured in the confrontation.

Dramatic surveillance footage showed the suspect in the front yard of a home, running toward a sheriff's SUV and shooting at the vehicle before it stops in the street.

News video from the scene showed at least two civilian vehicles with bullet holes after being struck by wayward gunfire.
