The whole ordeal started around 1:00 p.m. Saturday when the transient reportedly approached three young men enjoying ice cream at the Camino Real Market Place. The young men tell KEY News that the transient shot two of them with the pellet gun after they refused to give him money. The suspect then took off. He ran into a nearby grass field where he was found by three deputies. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's PIO Drew Sugars says the deputies attempted to detain the suspect. That's when he fired off two more rounds from his pellet gun hitting two of the them. Sugars says that's when the deputies opened fire on the suspect.
The transient's identity is not known at this time but he was transported to Cottage Hospital for his injuries. Officials haven't released any new information on his condition.
KEY News Reporter Scott Hurst was one of the first reporters to arrive on scene and has more in this report.
