FAIRFIELD — A man who authorities say was shooting at an approaching deputy and his K-9 partner was shot and killed early Sunday by the deputy, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office reports. The incident began shortly before 3 a.m. when the deputy and Fairfield police responded to the area of Central Way and Pittman Road to investigate what the Sheriff’s Office described early Sunday as a robbery in which the suspect was reportedly armed with a gun. The Solano County District Attorney’s Office later characterized the incident as a 911 call to Fairfield police reporting a disturbance in which the suspect was armed with a firearm – and that the deputy was called to the scene by Fairfield police so his K-9 partner could help with the sus-
pect’s apprehension. Shortly after the deputy arrived, he unleashed his K-9 partner in an attempt to apprehend the suspect, who the Sheriff’s Office reports fired his gun. The District Attorney’s Office later reported the suspect, who the agency reports was armed with a Polymer80 handgun, “fired several rounds at responding officers.” The deputy returned fire, the Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office report. The man was hit and died as a result of his injuries. The Sheriff’s Office did not indicate in its report whether the K-9 or the deputy were injured during the exchange of gunfire. Neither did the District Attorney’s Office in its update. Authorities also did not report how many shots the deputy fired or how many times the man was shot. Fairfield police report no city police officers
