The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the circumstances surrounding a “shots fired” call in Monterey Park Friday in which media reports indicate a suspect was wounded by deputies.
A spokesperson with the Sheriff’s Information Bureau would not confirm that a suspect was shot by deputies, but said deputies were dispatched about 4:30 a.m. Friday to a “shots fired” call in the 1500 block of Helen Drive, just southwest of the San Bernardino (10) and Long Beach (710) freeway interchange.
“All deputies have been accounted for,” he said.
ABC7 reported that the suspect shot at arriving deputies, who returned fire.
The condition of the suspect was not immediately known.
