June 19, 2023 - Placer County Sheriff's Office officials report that officers with the Auburn Police Department responded to a residence on the 800-block of Marguerite Mine Road for a report of a barricaded subject. Upon their arrival, the armed suspect, identified as 35-year-old Roger Kenerly, began firing shots from inside the residence. PCSO’s Crisis Negotiation Team was then called to assist. After several hours, PCSO’s Special Enforcement Team (SET) was called in to take over the perimeter. Utilizing an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for surveillance, SET effectively contained the area while neighboring properties were evacuated for everyone's safety.

Earlier this morning (on Sunday), our team was able to get Kenerly to surrender peacefully. We’d like to highlight the response team for demonstrating commendable professionalism and dedication throughout this challenging operation. We also want to recognize all the law enforcement personnel involved in this operation. Their teamwork, expertise, and swift response ensured the safety of the community.

The Auburn Police Department continues to lead this investigation and will handle forthcoming legal actions against Kenerly.
