Deputy Joshua Buerke, who was shot in the cheek during the incident, has been released from the hospital following treatment. Meanwhile, Deputy Leland Grossett underwent surgery on Saturday after being shot in the eye. He currently remains hospitalized but is in stable condition and did not lose his eye.
Sheriff Rosie Rivera told reporters on Saturday that Buerke and Grossett were part of a campus security team patroling the area when they encountered Johnson on the lawn north of the Sheriff’s Office Building. "We do not know what he was doing here on the grounds," Rivera said, adding that officials believe Johnson might have been experiencing homelessness. "The deputies were going to check up on him when something occurred."More Related News
