UPDATE: Selma police officer shot multiple times and killed in the line of duty
A Selma police officer was shot in a residential neighborhood in the Fresno County city on Tuesday, authorities said.
The shooting occurred shortly before noon in the 2600 block of Pine Street, just west of Highway 99 and south of Rose Avenue.
The officer was rushed to the hospital.
It was not clear if the suspect was injured.
At 1:22 p.m., the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office reported a person of interest had been detained and that the officer’s condition was not known.
In addition to FCSO, law enforcement from the surrounding area — including the California Highway Patrol and police from Fresno, Kingsburg and Parlier — swarmed to the scene and established a perimeter around the location for the investigation.
About a block to the south of the scene, nearby Eric White Elementary School was locked down during the incident.
