A sheriff's deputy was shot and killed and a second deputy was wounded during a standoff at a California home Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
"While reporting to a standoff here in Wasco, one of our brave Kern County Sheriff's Deputies was killed-in-action and one other was shot and wounded," Wasco Mayor Alex Garcia said in a statement. Deputies responded to a home after receiving calls of a possible shooting and potentially people wounded in the residence at around 1 p.m. PT, Lt. Joel Swanson with the Kern County Sheriff's Office said during a press briefing following the shooting.
The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
