Two San Diego deputies injured by gunfire, wounds 'not life-threatening'

Two San Diego County sheriff's deputies were injured Wednesday afternoon by gunfire in the Leucadia neighborhood of Encinitas, officials said.

Neither of the deputies suffered life-threatening wounds, officials said.

One was taken to a local hospital and is listed in stable condition. The other was treated at the scene. The second deputy may have been struck by a ricochet from a bullet fired from inside a home. The two were investigating reports of a stolen car.

A SWAT operation, backed by a helicopter, is underway to search for a suspected gunman.
