Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said Wednesday that two people were pronounced dead at Permanente Quarry in Cupertino, and a third person died later at the hospital.

Smith says seven others were wounded, some of whom are in critical condition.

Authorities are still searching for the suspect, 47-year-old Shareef Allman. They say he fired two weapons during an early-morning safety meeting at the quarry, then may have shot a woman in an attempted carjacking later in the day.
