1 Police Officer Killed, 1 Wounded in Baldwin Park Shooting; Suspect in Custody

Описание: BALDWIN PARK, Calif., May 31 (KNN) — A Baldwin Park Police Department officer was fatally wounded in a shooting in a Baldwin Park neighborhood Saturday evening.

Baldwin Park police responded to calls of a shooting incident around 7:15 p.m. in the 4200 block of Filhurst Avenue. According to a press conference regarding the incident, responding officers located one unresponsive person at the scene, and at least two officers were fired upon by a suspect initially reported to be armed with a rifle. Both officers were transported to local hospitals; one by air and the other by ground ambulance.

Multiple agencies were on the scene assisting the Baldwin Park Police Department during the fatal incident earlier in the evening. A parked vehicle was struck by gunfire, although it is not yet determined whether the shots came from the officers or the suspect.

A homeowner reported that he was inside his house with his family when he heard gunfire; he later came outside and noticed a broken window. Witnesses indicated that officers had been pursuing a vehicle during which shots were fired. However, at this time, the original call for service was for gunshots and a person down. Multiple other officers may have been involved in the shooting as well; however, the investigation continues.

Sheriff Luna said that the alleged suspect was struck by gunfire and was transported to a local hospital in stable condition. The identity of the slain officer will be publicly identified after family members have been notified.
