COLLEEN MCEDWARDS, CNN ANCHOR: On the west coast, a manhunt for a suspected killer ends in a running gun battle with police. A violent end to a deadly rampage that began Saturday night. CNN's James Hattori has been following it all along from Sacramento, California. James?</s>JAMES HATTORI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Colleen, investigators are still on the scene here at a strip mall in Rancho Cardova, in eastern Sacramento County. Behind me, you might be able to see the corner has arrived to remove the body of the gunman, Joseph Ferguson, from the stolen car, where he apparently shot himself. That was after a fierce gun battle with officers. It began around 11:30 last night. We are told that Ferguson may have fired as many as 100 rounds from a semi automatic rifle. A highway patrol officer and a bystanders were wounded during the shoot out. Police believe Ferguson killed five altogether, four of them former coworkers at Burns Security, including his ex girlfriend. Ferguson was suspended by Burns Security last week after an altercation with that girlfriend. Investigators are pursuing that as a possible motive for the killings. Now, Colleen, there was a moment of especially notable heroism amidst all of this tragedy. We mentioned a bystander, a motorist actually, was shot, caught in the crossfire. A Sacramento County sheriff's deputy apparently drove his car into the line of fire to block any further harm from this bystander, putting himself on the line and helping that man escape. And we are told that that bystander is expected to be OK. Colleen, Leon.</s>MCEDWARDS: All right. James Hattori, thanks very much for that update. Appreciate it.
