CHP: Standoff shooting suspect hospitalized with self-inflicted gunshot wound
FAIRFIELD, Calif. - A standoff with several law enforcement agencies in Fairfield has ended with the suspect transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds, according to authorities. It's believed the wounds were self-inflicted.
The standoff occurred first with California Highway Patrol officers and an armed suspect following a reported shooting in Santa Rosa.
Around 11 a.m. CHP received a call about a freeway shooting that occurred southbound 101 from Windsor to Santa Rosa; the suspect shot at a black SUV.
No injuries were reported from the morning shooting.
Having plate information from the suspect car--a Silver Toyota Corolla around a 2001 model--officers tracked the suspect down to a Rohnert Park shopping center.
Officers tried to contact the driver who drove away onto the SB up Highway 37. The Solano County Sheriff's Office and the Fairfield Police Department boxed the suspect in, and SWAT was present on scene, trying to get the suspect to surrender, according to CHP spokesman Andrew Barclay.
The suspect stopped in his location due to a laid spike trap, causing a flat tire.
No gunfire was exchanged between law enforcement and the suspect, according to officials.
Holes in the suspect's rear window are from "less than lethal options" that were successful.
CHP Golden Gate says westbound lanes of I-80, northbound I-680 transition to eastbound and westbound I-80 are reopening.
Eastbound I-80 lanes remain closed.
