SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento police officer was shot and seriously wounded Wednesday evening by a rifleman who blasted away at officers trying to rescue her, police said.

Several officers were on a domestic disturbance call, helping a woman collect her belongings and leave a home in the North Sacramento neighborhood, when the officer was wounded, Sgt. Vance Chandler said.

She lay in the backyard of a home and officers couldn’t reach her because the gunman kept firing, Chandler said.
