FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A woman was critically injured in an
exchange of gunfire with Fresno County deputies on Thursday
afternoon.

The confrontation happened on Valentine between Shaw and San
Jose in northwest Fresno at about 2:40 pm.

The Fresno County Sheriff's Office said their deputies were
originally called to evict a 30-year-old woman from her
apartment, but soon realized she had warrants out for her arrest.

She was the prime suspect in a shooting back in July in which a
62-year-old man was shot in the face in northeast Fresno.

The identity of the woman hasn't been released, but Action News
has learned she has a lengthy criminal history, including
forgery, theft, and burglary.

Because the woman was likely armed and dangerous, three deputies
were tactically staged. They waited for her to leave the complex
in her car, then pulled her over and placed her under arrest.

But she had managed to keep a gun with her after she was taken
into custody and placed in the back of a deputy's vehicle. Then,
she slipped out her handcuffs and fired at deputies at least
once. Two deputies fired at least two shots back.

Fresno PD is investigating the shooting because it happened
within city limits. The woman was hit by gunfire at least twice
and was rushed into surgery. She's in critical condition.

Chief Paco Balderrama said it's still not clear how the woman
hid the weapon.

"It is not terribly uncommon for females to be able to hide
firearms either in between their breasts or some other area.
When you have male police officers, they are a lot more hesitant
to search because of that reason and we did not have a female
deputy here on site. One was en route," he said.

Fresno County Sheriff-Elect John Zanoni said when male deputies
are tasked with patting down female suspects for weapons, the
searches are more minimal.

"If we want to do a thorough search we will have a female
officer or a female deputy sheriff come over and conduct that
search for contraband and other things just because it's the
right protocol, the right thing to do," he said.

The woman is facing charges for assault with a deadly weapon, a
convicted felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of
assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer.
