FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. – The Fresno County Sheriff’s deputy who was shot during a gunfight in rural Fresno County is recovering, though he remains in critical but stable condition.
John Erickson, 49, underwent surgery Tuesday afternoon for internal injuries and a broken leg at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
A few hours before he had been rushed to the hospital via helicopter, Erickson was shot at while responding to a call about a property dispute at the 29000 block of Quail Springs Lane, south of Tollhouse in the Sierra foothills.
