Person shot, wounded by deputies in Los Angeles
ROSEMEAD, Calif. (KTLA) – A shooting by a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department prompted road closures in Rosemead Sunday afternoon.
Details are extremely limited and it’s unclear exactly what led up to the deputy-involved shooting, but officials told KTLA that deputies responded to the area of Garvey and Walnut Grove avenues just before 1 p.m.
Officials confirmed to KTLA that a suspect was shot by a deputy and that no deputies or any other citizens were injured during the gunfire.
Medical personnel with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the scene and rushed the injured suspect to the hospital for further treatment, authorities said.
The suspect’s condition was not immediately known.
In video of the scene captured after the incident, a large law enforcement presence was at the location with the 8600 block of Garvey Avenue shut down and cordoned off with yellow tape while deputies were seen just outside of the Flamingo Inn’s parking lot scouring the area, presumably for additional evidence.
No additional information, including the age and gender of the suspect, was provided.
