A sheriff’s SWAT team arrested a man who allegedly fired shots Monday from the rooftop of a single-story residence in the Walnut Park area, prompting at least one deputy to open fire and injure the suspect.
Deputies went to the 2500 block of Sale Place about 5:20 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
A sheriff’s SWAT team arrested the man after a standoff of about two hours, according to the sheriff’s department, which said detectives were sent “to a deputy-involved shooting.”
“The male adult suspect was transported to a local hospital to be treated,” a sheriff’s statement said.
The nature of the man’s injury was not known, and his name was not immediately released.
According to CBS2, the man was shot and wounded by deputies.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500, or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
