Man accused of attempted murder after allegedly firing on deputies in Victorville
A man was arrested after allegedly opening fire on sheriff's deputies in Victorville early Saturday, according to law enforcement officials.
The shooting took place about 2 a.m. Saturday at a multi-unit commercial building in the 13800 block of Amargosa Road, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials and county records.
Deputies responded to the building in response to "multiple wireless 911 calls," the sheriff's department said in a written statement.
The agency said deputies then arrived to perform a "welfare check in response to a possible emergency." No further information regarding the nature of the 911 calls was released.
"Without provocation, [the suspect] used a firearm to fire multiple rounds at the responding deputies," the statement said. "Additional resources arrived, and Gomez was taken into custody without further incident."
No deputies were struck by the gunfire, officials said.
David Morales Gomez, 31, of Victorville was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling or vehicle and assault with a firearm, records show.
Bail was set at $1 million pending an initial court appearance, scheduled Tuesday in the Victorville branch of San Bernardino County Superior Court.
