ACRAMENTO — A 34-year-old gunman rampaged through two counties on Friday, shooting four people — three of them law enforcement officers, and two of them fatally — and forcing two motorists from their vehicles to use for getaways, the Placer County sheriff’s office said.
For most of the day, the man led the authorities on a huge manhunt that started in Sacramento and led into the rugged foothills of the Sierra Nevada. By late afternoon, he was arrested in a house in Auburn, just over 30 miles from Sacramento in Placer County. The authorities identified him as Marcelo Marquez.
