Jordyn Guadalupe Sanchez

A Tucson man accused of shooting two deputies during a domestic violence call last month will remain in jail, a judge said Wednesday.

Meanwhile both of the deputies wounded in the incident have been released from the hospital.

The two deputies were shot while answering a domestic violence call about 7:15 p.m. Dec. 21, at a house in the 9000 block of North Kanawha Street, near North Shannon and West Overton roads.

Deputies were called to the home when an β€œerratic” Jordyn Guadalupe Sanchez, 29, showed up wanting to take his three non-custodial children from the residence, according to a complaint filed in Pima County Justice Court.

Gunfire erupted soon after the deputies made contact with Sanchez at the house, the department has said. A scuffle led to both deputies, and Sanchez being shot. According to Pima County Superior Court Records, Sanchez faces several felony charges. Among them: attempted murder, aggravated assault on peace officer, and endangerment.

Sanchez also has been linked to a separate shooting at a Tucson marijuana dispensary, court records show.

Sanchez this week was ordered held without bond.

Meanwhile, the second officer injured during the shoot-out was recently released from the hospital with much fanfare.

With a coy smile, a black cast covering his entire arm, and cane in his hand to help him walk, the officer was wheeled through the hospital lobby, which was lined by a gaggle of friends, family members and co-workers, each one cheering louder than the next, a video from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shows.

The second wounded deputy was released from the hospital last month.
