SACRAMENTO, Calif. —The union for parole agents is looking into whether some of its investigators were told not to respond during Friday’s deadly shooting.

Sacramento County Deputy Danny Oliver had been working on a parole operation an hour before he was shot in the line of duty.

"(The agents) take this pretty personally, as well,” said Ondre Henry, the president of the Parole Agents Association of California. “That certainly could be any one of us in the same situation. So, just like they need us, we need them, as well.”

The union is checking into whether someone with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told local parole agents not to respond to Friday’s situation after Deputy Oliver was shot, Henry said.
