Riverside County deputies are searching for a suspect who fired shots at them during a pursuit on Tuesday. 

Exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, but deputies say that they were in the midst of a vehicle pursuit when the suspect opened fire on them near Pats Ranch Road and Tributary Way at around 7 p.m. 

None of the deputies were struck by gunfire and they did not return fire at the suspect. 

A large search is underway for the suspect, who at this point has not yet been identified. SkyCal was overhead as a massive amount of deputies and SWAT personnel scoured a large wooded area between Jurupa Valley and Eastvale, which the Santa Ana Riverbed runs through. 

Some deputies could even be seen as they combed over the Goose Creek Golf Club course in the area.

It's unclear exactly why deputies were pursuing them in the first place.
