Sheriff Boudreaux says 35-year-old Angel Uriarte of Goshen and 25-year-old Noah Beard of Visalia are the shooters.
During the searches, Uriarte engaged in a gun battle with ATF agents, who ended up shooting him. He is undergoing surgery but is expected to survive.
Boudreaux says Beard was arrested without incident.
