Fresno sheriff’s deputy SHOT WHILE CYCLING

Wow.

An off-duty Fresno County sheriff’s deputy was shot Tuesday afternoon while cycling.

The deputy was cycling when he heard a sound and felt something strike his back. The deputy was knocked from his bike.

The deputy saw the rear passenger of a blue SUV pull a rifle back inside the vehicle.

One wonders if the shooter targeted the victim as a cyclist or as a law enforcement officer. The guy was off-duty and likely out of uniform, right?
