California shooting suspects arraigned

The two suspects in a California shooting rampage that claimed the lives of two sheriff’s deputies and left a motorist and third deputy wounded have been arraigned on murder and other charges.

Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte, who was booked into jail under the pseudonym Marcelo Marquez, and his wife, 38-year-old Janelle Marquez Monroy, appeared in court separately Tuesday. They did not enter pleas.

They were both shackled and in a courtroom cell surrounded by sheriff’s deputies during their appearances. Monroy-Bracamonte had a bandage on his left forearm and asked Sacramento Superior Court Judge Helena Gweon to slow down as she read the charges against him.

Federal immigration authorities say Monroy-Bracamonte has been living in the U.S. illegally after being convicted in Arizona for selling drugs in 1997 and deported to Mexico twice, most recently in 2001.
