KINGS COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A suspect has been identified in a shooting that injured two people on the Santa Rosa Rancheria in Kings County.

The video above is from an earlier story and will be updated.

The Kings County Sheriff's Office says Samuel Brito is wanted for a shooting that happened on Sisco Court near Manual Road just after 5:45 p.m. Saturday.

Deputies say Brito shot a man and a Santa Rosa Rancheria Department of Public Safety Officer who found Brito shortly after the first shooting had occurred. Decetives add the man refused to cooperate with them.

The Public Safety Officer was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.

Investigators say Brito fled toward his home and was last seen wearing a red jacket, black pants, and a red bandana.

Brito, who is out on post-supervision release, currently has three outstanding warrants for his arrest and is considered armed and dangerous.

The California Highway Patrol and Lemoore Police Department are assisting in the investigation.

Anyone with information on Brito's location is asked to contact the Kings County Sheriff's Office.
