NARRATIVE:

Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Homicide Investigators are responding to the 4500 Block of East Third Street, East Los Angeles to investigate the circumstances surrounding an off-duty deputy involved shooting.

One deputy was wounded, the suspect was hit by gunfire and taken into custody.

Both the deputy and the suspect were transported to a local hospital to be treated for their wounds.

Whenever a deputy-involved shooting occurs involving Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies and the suspect is hit, multiple independent investigations immediately begin at the scene. This includes a separate investigation by the Office of the Los Angeles County District Attorneys, as well as investigations by Sheriff's Homicide Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau. Attorneys with the Los Angeles Office of Independent Review also respond to the scene, and have full access to the facts known to the Sheriff's Department throughout every phase of these thorough investigations. Once concluded, every aspect of the shooting is reviewed by the Sheriff's Executive Force Review Committee.
