Shots fired at Rancho officer

Shots fired at a police officer. A suburban neighborhood locked down. A nightclub shuttered. A rapper arrested.

It was a dramatic Friday night in a normally quiet part of Rancho Cordova. It began with a routine traffic stop and ended with a helicopter-aided manhunt.

According to authorities, about 10:30 p.m., a Rancho Cordova officer tried to pull over a carload of four men near the intersection of Coloma Road and Sunrise Boulevard.

After a short car chase, all four men fled on foot.

Three men ran toward a nearby nightclub, which was scheduled to host a hip-hop show. The fourth bolted for a residential backyard and hopped a fence.

As an officer leaped over the fence in pursuit, the man pulled out a gun and fired twice, police said.

The officer dodged the bullets. He did not return fire.

As news of the shooting spread through police radios, the Sunriver neighborhood, a modest subdivision, quickly morphed into a sort of police state.

Law enforcement officers from four agencies barred anyone from coming or going. Helicopters hovered above, shining spotlights. A SWAT team combed through homes and backyards with police dogs. Startled residents peered out their windows to see what was going on.

"I can sleep through just about anything. This was too much," said Rod Jackson, 40, who lives on Tiber River Drive and stayed up all night amid the commotion.

Despite the effort, authorities did not catch the shooter or find the gun, said Sgt. Tim Curran of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.

Back at the nightclub, the Platinum Palace, police said they did nab two of the men from the car. A third man got away by blending into the crowd.

One of the men arrested was Dominick Newton, 29. He was charged with resisting arrest and marijuana possession. Curran confirmed that Newton is an East Bay rapper who goes by the name "The Jacka."

Newton was scheduled to perform at the show, billed as a record release party that also featured a popular Bay Area emcee named Keak da Sneak.

The show never happened.

Reuben Meeks, the Rancho Cordova police chief, said the club was supposed to have 15 licensed security guards.

George Daniel, the owner of the club, said he had rented out the building -- at 11076 Coloma Road -- to a promoter who was supposed to take care of security.

The neighborhood lockdown lasted from shortly after 10:30 p.m. Friday until about 11:30 a.m. Saturday. Early Saturday morning, police started letting residents come and go, but not before checking their cars and asking them about their business.

2 Arrested, 2 On The Run After Police Shooting

SACRAMENTO -A gunman who shot at police late Friday night is still on the run. SWAT teams and police dogs spent almost 13 hours searching for the shooting in Rancho Cordova, as hundreds of neighbors remained locked up in their homes.

Investigators say the suspect is from the Bay Area, and was in Sacramento with three of his friends for a rap concert.

More than 60 officers hundreds of homes in Rancho Cordova. No one was allowed out, or back in, which means some residents were stuck out in the cold all night long. A few attempted to make it home, and quickly found out how intense the search had become.

“Two deputies jumped out of the car, pulled their guns on me. I put my hands up and said don’t shoot! Don't shoot,” said one resident.

As the sun came up, reinforcements were brought in and neighbors were finally allowed to leave their homes, but every car had to be checked. One man was held for questioning because he didn’t have his id with him. After a tedious 14 hour search, the effort was called off.

“We're leaving a contingent in the area just in case this turns out to be a barricaded subject or hostage situation,” said a police spokesman.

Police did arrest two suspects who were involved in the car chase that started it all. 29-year-old Samuel Wilson and 29-year-old Dominick Newton were both charged with resisting arrest and possession of marijuana. Investigators say Newton is from the Bay Area and had come to Rancho Cordova for a rap show. The two other suspects with Newton Friday night are still on the run, including the alleged gunman.

Shots Fired at Cops Prompt Rancho Cordova Neighborhood Search

Written for the web by Mark Hedlund, Reporter
(ABC NEWS10) Rancho Cordova-Local authorities spent nearly 13 hours searching a Rancho Cordova neighborhood Saturday for two suspects following a short pursuit that ended with shots fired at officers.

The two suspects were inside a car with two other men near Coloma Rd. and Vehicle Dr. around 10:30 p.m. Friday when Rancho Cordova officers attempted a vehicle stop, Sacramento Sheriff's Sgt. Tim Curran said. The driver attempted to evade the officers and after a short pursuit circled back to Coloma Rd. where the driver stopped and all four men tried to flee.

"All four foot-bailed," said Curran. "Two were taken into custody immediately. A third suspect, we think, went back into a (nearby) club where there was a party going on. We lost sight of him and he basically got away."

It was the fourth suspect who ran into the nearby neighborhood north of Coloma Road and jumped over a fence. As a Rancho Cordova police officer followed him, the suspect turned and fired two or three shots at the officer. No one was hit, but other officers immediately sealed off the neighborhood loop of Klamath Falls Drive and Trinity Drive. Officers than began a house-to-house search of around 200 homes.

"The DUI saturation patrols were going on so there were many, many officers in the area," said Curran. Even the sheriff helicopter was flying the area, "so the perimetere was set up very quickly," said Curran.

For hours, traffic in and out of the area was stopped briefly as authorities searched vehicles for any sign of the suspect. Every car going in and out was stopped, trunks checked, with people warned that an armed man might be hiding in the neighborhood.

"It's kind of surreal. It's odd," said neighbor Nancy Avella, after a SWAT team with a canine searched through her backyard on Kalamath River Dr. "I'm glad they're here looking."

Another neighbor said it was disconcerting to hear the sheriff helicopter buzzing over their house all night and into the morning. "I was kind of strange," said Maria Bell. She was up early to go work out, but returned to wake her husband, Eugene.

"I said, 'you better get up. There's lots going on around here'," said Bell.

The alleged gunman was not found and streets were reopened around 11 a.m. Saturday.

Investigators believe all four men travelled from the Bay Area to perform at or attend a hip-hop concert held Friday night at a club on Coloma Rd., Curran said. The two men arrested, Samuel Wilson, 29, and Dominick Newton, 29, both face charges of resisitng arrest. Newton, who allegedly had marijuana in his possession, also faces a drug charge. "They aren't being very cooperative. We're trying to get the ID (of the gunman) and work from there."

Once search teams were convinced they covered the area, the streets were reopened around 11:30 a.m. The suspect still at large is considered armed and dangerous, but detectives think he may have tossed the gun and are asking residents to check their yards in case the handgun was left somewhere.

"We don't know what motivated this guy (to fire at an officer), wheather he had warrants, whether he had dope on him, we don't know," said Curran.

The gunman is described as a black male in his early-to-mid 20's, 6'1", 180 pounds last seen wearing a yellow and white shirt. Deputies had no description of the other suspect who ran away but wasn't involved in the shooting.
