Suspect in Lake Tahoe deputy-involved shooting could face charges
By KRNV
The motive for an attack that led a deputy to shoot and injure a 47-year-old man early Sunday in North Lake Tahoe is still not clear, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.
In a statement released Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said deputies responded just after 4am Jan. 14, to a rental home in Carnelian Bay on a report that a family member was acting strangely.
Two people were standing outside the house when the first deputy arrived, according to the sheriff’s office, and they all went inside the house, citing the cold weather.
Criminal charges are pending against the suspect.
