Update 11/14/2016, 6:50 p.m.: A Stanislaus County Sheriff Deputy was shot and killed yesterday while checking out a suspicious vehicle near Hughson. Deputy Dennis Wallace, 53, was shot twice within seconds of discovering the car was stolen and asking for backup. Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson says his officers and the community are grieving Deputy Wallace's death. 

"We will seek justice and justice will be done in this case. It’s time to stand united, it’s time to stand together with public safety and with law enforcement to stop what’s happening in our nation."

Christianson says 36-year-old David Machado was arrested about four hours later in Tulare County by officers after trying to steal a woman’s purse. Deputy Wallace is the fourth officer to die in the line of duty in the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department.


Update 2:48 p.m.: The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department will be holding a 3 p.m press conference regarding the shooting death of deputy Dennis Wallace and the arrest of suspect David Machado. Watch it live here:
