TURLOCK, Calif. — No suspects are outstanding Friday, according to the Turlock Police Department, after a California Highway Patrol officer was shot Thursday night.
40-year-old Henry Moreno Arroyo of Turlock, who sustained a non life threatening gunshot wound, was interviewed, arrested, and booked into jail by Turlock police officers on attempted murder charges.
A second person of interest who police launched a multi-hour search for on Thursday night, was detained and interviewed but released, according to authorities.
Captain Steven Williams with Turlock Police Department said the shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. on the 600 block of High Street and stemmed from a separate freeway shooting on Wednesday.
The freeway shooting led California Highway Patrol investigators to High Street, where they saw the suspect vehicle. Williams said the suspect opened fire on investigators as they approached the vehicle and that police returned fire before the suspect ran off.
Police chased the suspect before a second shooting suspect allegedly opened fire on officers, according to Capitan Williams Thursday. Williams said at least one CHP officer was left with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and taken to the hospital.
The first shooting suspect was arrested, but the search continued through the night for the other. About 10 city blocks were cordoned off for the search, and police asked people in the area to stay inside as they searched for a suspect considered armed and dangerous at the time.
