A Southern California sheriff’s deputy is in serious condition after being shot following a pursuit of a motorcyclist in a desert community east of Los Angeles on Monday, authorities said.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s office said that deputies from the Morongo Basin station in the Yucca Valley area were conducting extra patrol for off-highway vehicle violations at around 12:33 p.m., when they spotted a male subject riding a street motorcycle without a license plate.
