there was a an intruder that had come into the house that had it was brandishing a firearm and ultimately fired that firearm and killing two people in our community investigators aren't identifying the victims yet. they say they were a married 58 year old man and 42 year old woman neighbor gabriella gonzalez said she didn't know the two but was startled to wake by what she now believes were the gunshots. she says she went to her window and saw the same car that police later released as a suspects vehicle within five minutes of that car turning the one squad squad car arrived and after he got out my windows were open so i heard him say i've got two down the suspect was meet a county sheriff's deputy devin williams. he's been with the agency for a year. he'd been on the run for nearly 11 hours, but just as our cameras were setting up for a press conference with dublin pd police delayed the conference for what they said were significant developments behind the windows of their front desk.

we could see police and deputies rushing back and forth. we now know that was the moment the suspect was calling to turn himself in during that conversation. we were able to keep him on the phone line and direct the chp units down to the area near coalinga to take the suspect safely. custody now the work continues in defining our what williams motive was alameda county sheriff says he had no history of mental health concerns, but lately had some struggles in the last several months of his life. some significant events happened that led up to this moment a lot of those events went undiscovered and disclosed. and we're going to be looking into that. of course. this is not a typical homicide investigation. the suspect is a sheriff's deputy and because of that more transparency is going to be expected in this investigation. what we will do is we will bring in the district attorney's office from alameda county. if we at any point along the way see any conflict of interest or

any issue, which i don't think there will be we will we will immediately bring in other agencies to help in dublin zach fuentes abc 7 news in san leandro kaiser hospital is operating normally now after being on lockdown earlier this afternoon following a shooting in the parking lot. it happened during an armored car robbery that critically injured the driver who tonight is in critical condition abc 7 news reporter lianne. melendez is in san leandro and is live with the very latest and tell you that police are. and as you mentioned, this is not no longer a lockdown situation in fact, the hospital wants people to know that it is operating. normally now this happened just before noon the guard was shot and san leandro police say that this for sure was a robbery the guard was immediately treated here at kaiser medical center in san leandro, but then transferred to eden medical

center in castro valley. he is in critical condition. we believe the security guard was walking out of the hospital with a bag full of cash. so this is more likely than not a pickup for the for the guards once he was outside of the hospital but still on the campus. he was subsequently accosted. shot once in the upper torso and the suspect fled with undisclosed amount of cash. so again, so again a lot of questions here was he followed was a god guard shot first then robbed or was there an altercation that led to him being shot? those questions will be answered once police go through all that surveillance video that they are collecting and we're told that there is a lot and of course they are interviewing witnesses. we know there was one shooter but police have reason to suspect there may have been another person in that car. so again that video will be crucial for this investigation. i'm live in san leandro leanne
