UPDATE 9 PM: Pasadena authorities have announced that they have completed the search for the suspects and the neighborhood is open again.
-----
Authorities converged on a Pasadena neighborhood Thursday afternoon in search of two assailants who shot at a pair of sheriff’s deputies who were tailing them in an unmarked car.
Neither of the deputies, one of whom returned fire, were hit, but the condition of the two suspects – described as two black men with thin builds -- was not known, Pasadena police said.
The search shut down a large residential area, bordered by Maple Street to the south, Orange Grove Boulevard to the north, Hill Avenue to the east and Mentor Avenue to the west.
Police urged residents who live within the containment area to steer clear, or to head to Jefferson Elementary at 1500 E. Villa St. for regular updates should the search go beyond 5 p.m.
