A San Bernardino County sheriff’s detective was shot Wednesday and taken to a hospital in unknown condition during an unspecified investigation in a remote area of Littlerock in northern Los Angeles County.
The shooting occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. in the area of East Avenue R and 130th Street East, and the deputy was flown to Antelope Valley Medical Center.
According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, one of the agency’s detectives was shot “while conducting an investigation” in the Littlerock area. The nature of the investigation was unknown.
“The detective was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment,” according to the sheriff’s department. “This remains an active investigation.”
The extent of the detective’s injuries was not immediately known.
Initial reports suggested that two people had been shot at the location, but no other details about what occurred were immediately available.
Video from the scene showed a white SUV parked in a remote area with its doors open. It was unclear if there were any shooting victims inside the vehicle. A second vehicle, possible a law enforcement SUV, was parked nearby.
CBS LA reported from the scene that San Bernardino deputies were attempting to serve a warrant when an exchange of gunfire occurred, and the detective was struck.
