An hours-long manhunt came to an end Monday morning after a suspect accused of shooting and injuring an Escondido police officer was found dead of a self-inflicted wound.
The ordeal began at about 2:45 a.m. when Escondido police received a 911 call from a woman in an apartment in the 1300 block of Morning View Drive. The caller said the man allegedly involved in the disturbance was the father of their two children and that he had left with what she described as a black assault-type rifle. He was identified by police as Anastacio Rosas Jr., 29.
