FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) - Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer put his department on high alert, concern grows when a gang threatens to retaliate after an police shooting sends a wanted man to the hospital.

Chief Jerry Dyer says, "We have received credible information from multiple sources that this particular gang has taken steps to arm themselves and have made well know that they are going to shoot a Fresno police officer."

It's been a long Easter Sunday, as Fresno police are taking extra steps to protect themselves.

It all began after officers spotted a man wanted for an early morning murder.

They tried to pull him over at Highway 99 and Stanislaus.

Following a high-speed chase, officers rammed his car near Arthur and Strother, where he took off on foot.

Chief Dyer says, "At some point the suspect according to the officers made some type of movement that caused the officers to believe that he was arming himself. The officers fired their weapons at the suspect."

Chief Dyer says his officers did find a gun on the man.

No police officers were hurt

Now because of the threats officers are currently gang sweeps, making sure none of those threats is carried out.

This is the 3rd police shooting for Fresno in 2013.

I haven't been able to find the gang name yet, probably because the police like to leave their gang name out of the media because name recognition is what they are after. And if they get their name in the media other gangs will go out and do something bigger to get their name in the news too. Usually the media gets the name sooner or later anyway. (It's probably the Bulldogs.)
Fresno Bulldogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are considered to be one of the largest Hispanic gangs in central California with membership estimated to be between 6,000 to 12,000 in the city of Fresno ...

Well they are quickly saying these killings in Texas might be related to WHITE Supremacist gangs. I figured the gangs in this case are non white and thus the hush hush.

Jerel Stanfield , the man at the center of a police crackdown on Fresno gang members, has served time in prison for street terrorism and being a felon in possession of a firearm, court records show.
Stanfield, 24, was shot by police Sunday near Arthur and Strother avenues just south of Chandler Airport after a vehicle pursuit. He is a suspect in a central Fresno shooting on March 29 that mortally wounded William Simpson, 24. Simpson died of his injuries on Sunday.
Stanfield has several convictions for weapons crimes. In 2007, he pleaded no contest to carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle. In 2008, he pleaded no contest to the same charges and also to the street terrorism charges and was sentenced to two years in state prison.
Police say that the pistol Stanfield was carrying Sunday was used to shoot five people in three incidents, including the Simpson murder. Police have traced the last legal owner to Arizona and are checking to see if it was stolen there.
