>> we haven't had an officer shot since i've been the chief and that's almost 20 years in fremont. se it'sso it's not something that we encounter every day. >> reporter: after the suspect opened fire, he fled to a nearby liblgor store where he -- liquor store where he attempted to carjack this vehicle and fired several shots shattering glass but fortunately didn't injure the drivary and didn't get the car. >> he was unsuccessful. and then to another location and carjacked a green mazda. >> reporter: police say andrew barrientos fled in this green, 1999, mazda four-door caught on surveillance video. they are warning the public he's considered armed and dangerous. he's 5'7", 240-pounds, with the word "dekoto" tattooed on the back of his gang and "dekoto gangster" on the top of his

would got laid off a couple of weeks ago? well, this would have been their call. the big question, would engine 30 got gotten here in less time? >> it could have been faster if engine 30 was in quarters and all others were in quarters, engine 30 would have been here first. >> reporter: this was the second place in as many days. does it make you nervous knowing there are less firefighters? >> yes. >> reporter: are the firefighters being too greedy? it depends who you ask. back to you. a riot involving hundreds of prisoners broke out at the old folsom state prison. at least five inmates were in injured after attempting to break it up. chris pickles has more. chris? >> reporter: we got here a little after 8:00, just in time for a guard to walk by us and
