SANTA CLARA COUNTY — A man shot a sheriff’s deputy during a prolonged standoff on Sunday, then left his home while it was on fire and attempted to break into an armored vehicle, where he was shot by a police officer, authorities said.

Deputies were called shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday for a welfare check at a home on the 3000 block of Dryden Avenue near Gilroy, according to a news release from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office. When they arrived, they attempted to communicate with a 35-year-old man, but he fired several shots from a gun at the deputies and into the neighborhood, according to the sheriff’s department.
