LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California sheriff’s deputy has been shot and killed just two weeks after another deputy in the department was slain in the line of duty. The suspect is in custody and was listed in critical condition after a gunbattle with a second deputy. Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Darnell Calhoun was fatally shot Friday afternoon in the city of Lake Elsinore. Sheriff Chad Bianco says Calhoun is survived by his pregnant wife. Lake Elsinore is about 55 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. Friday’s shooting comes as the sheriff’s department is reeling from the death of Deputy Isaiah Cordero, who was fatally shot Dec. 29.
