Deputies were doing an investigation involving a stolen car in the parking lot of a Ramada Inn. Two women got in the car and led police on a chase that ended in Elk Grove. As the women led police on a chase, Thomas Daniel Littlecloud was escaping a hotel room when he started firing a rifle at officers. Two CHP officers were injured in the shootout, and one sheriff's deputy, 52-year-old Robert French, was killed. Littlecloud died of gunshot wounds a few days later.
