Deputy shot in Hesperia

Here’s unwelcome news to wake up to on a Thursday morning: Last night, a Hesperia station sheriff’s deputy was shot foiling a robbery on Main and 5th. He’s in good condition and is expected to be released from the hospital today.

I heard about this on the way out of the city council meeting, when I was stopped by City Manager Mike Podegracz with the news.

• One gunman wounded during burglary in progress late Wednesday night (Daily Press)
• Sheriff’s deputy shot at, wounded (Sun)

We have some more details, including the deputy’s name, but are holding off on publishing them at the request of the sheriff’s department. I expect we’ll be releasing his name and photo later today.
