<\/p>\nTimelapse: See how a deadly Highway 50 law enforcement shooting snarled Sacramento County traffic<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A deadly shooting involving multiple law enforcement agencies in Sacramento County snarled Highway 50 traffic on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Because of the large crime scene following a pursuit that ended with officers firing their weapons, multiple command units were established along westbound Highway 50 at Hazel Avenue.<\/p>\n
It started as a traffic stop around 11:20 p.m. Monday, when a driver initially stopped but then kept driving, prompting a chase. The California Highway Patrol said spike strips were used to stop the vehicle around 12:05 a.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n
CHP said law enforcement saw what they thought was the driver with a weapon before gunfire broke out.<\/p>\n
For hours, westbound lanes have been closed, and lanes would not reopen until around 9:20 a.m.<\/p>\n
While lanes are reopened, congestion is expected for a while longer.<\/p>\n

Details were not released on how many officers fired their weapons and how many actually hit the driver. The driver’s identity was not released, only that he is male.<\/p>\n
The agencies involved in the shooting were CHP, the Citrus Heights Police Department and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n
According to the sheriff’s office, no officers or deputies were injured in the shooting.<\/p>\n
