Deputies shoot robbery suspect in East LA

LOS ANGELES - Officials in East Los Angeles are investigating after a shooting involving deputies Monday, which sent an armed robbery suspect to the hospital.

Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department were called out to the area of S. Atlantic Boulevard and E. 4th Street just after 1 p.m. Someone called 911 about an armed robbery in the area, and provided a good description of the suspect.

When deputies got there they said they were flagged down by another alleged victim of the suspect. Using the description they had, deputies found eventually tracked the suspect down. That's when deputies said the suspect brandished a gun, and the shooting happened.

It's not clear whether the suspect returned deputies' gunfire, but the suspect was hit and taken to the hospital. Monday night, officials said the suspect was in stable condition. Officials did not say whether any deputies were injured in the shooting, but images from SkyFOX did show several bullet holes in the windshield of the deputies' patrol vehicle.

Video from the scene also appeared to show what appeared to be a gun on the sidewalk alongside a backpack.

No other information was immediately available.
