Man Who Shot At Clovis Officers Gets 40-Year Prison Sentence

A Clovis man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for shooting at police officers responding to a 2013 disturbance at a home.

The 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office said Judge Drew W. Tatum on Monday sentenced 32-year-old Eric Gutierrez on convictions for attempted murder, assault with intent to commit a violent felony upon a peace office and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The District Attorney's Office said officers suffered minor injuries when Gutierrez opened fire from inside a room of a home where a caller had told police that a person needed to be removed because he was acting crazy and being violent.

Gutierrez was taken into custody following a nearly six-hour standoff.
