At 2:35 pm on Friday, a woman called dispatchers at the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office to report a man was threatening to kill her and a family member. Deputies were dispatched to a home on the 3400 block of Circle Court East in Fresno’s Mayfair District.

Deputies arrived at the home and were confronted by a man standing near the driveway / sidewalk area who was armed with a knife, waving it around. Deputies ordered him to get back and drop the knife multiple times. The man refused and a deputy fired his handgun, striking the suspect. Deputies immediately began to give the suspect medical treatment and called for an ambulance. EMS personnel arrived and transported the suspect to the hospital. He has undergone surgery and is in stable condition.

The suspect's name is not being released at this time. He is believed to be in his mid to late 30s.

Homicide detectives and members of the Crime Scene Unit arrived to the scene to interview witnesses and collect evidence. At a later time, detectives will interview all of the deputies involved in the direct encounter with the suspect.
Anyone with helpful information for detectives is asked to please contact the Sheriff’s Office at (559) 600-3111.

Another young, promising life lost in the line of duty for our law enforcement family. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office offers its support and hopes to give strength to the City of Davis Police Department and loved ones of Officer Natalie Corona. 😔

Detectives Searching for Runaway Teenager

***UPDATE*** Thursday night, CHP officers found Glen in Mission Viejo, CA. He is safe and efforts are being made to reunite him with family.

The Fresno County Sheriff's Office needs the public's help to find a missing at-risk man. On Wednesday around 11:00 am, 83 year old Glen Self left his home in Tollhouse to go grocery shopping in Prather, but he never returned home.

He was last seen driving a 2005 gray Mercury Montego with an Oklahoma license plate of AFX032. (A similar looking car is pictured).

Glen is considered at-risk due to being diabetic and not having his medication with him. The California Highway Patrol has issued a Silver Alert for Fresno, Madera, Tulare, and Kings counties and the southern California area.

He is 6'2", 285 lbs. His car was reportedly seen early Thursday morning in the city of Torrance and then a little bit later in the San Bernardino / Highland area.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office immediately at (559) 600-3111.
