The wounded suspect was taken to a hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics with stable vital signs, police said.
An officer suffered a minor graze wound and was taken to a hospital with stable vital signs, the LAPD said.
Two guns were recovered at the scene.
The names of the suspects or the wounded officer were not immediately disclosed.
