A Sonoma County sheriff’s deputy shot by a car wash employee Sunday morning is in good condition and is expected to survive, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The deputy was one of two officers who responded to a call from a manager of the Jolly Washer car wash on Highway 12 in Sonoma at 11 a.m. The manager reported an employee was “acting strange” and refused to go home after being asked to leave. When the officers arrived, the employee, 19, was standing behind a truck in the car wash line and began firing from a handgun, hitting one of the deputies. At least one of the officers returned fire but did not hit the suspect.
