The deputy chased the suspect, 40-year-old Bernardino Calderon, who came to a stop at a yard on the corner of Fourth Street and Avenue C.
When Calderon reached for something from his waist band, the deputy feared for his life and shot Calderon in the leg once. Calderon still managed to jump a fence, but he didn't get far. He was found hiding in a different yard on Fourth Street and was taken into custody.
He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center where he was treated for his gunshot wound in the leg.
