LA PUENTE (FOX 11 / CNS) - Sheriff's homicide detectives were investigating a deputy-involved shooting Sunday in La Puente, but no one was hit and three men were detained, according to the department.

The shooting was at just after 1 p.m. near the intersection Maplegrove Street and Aileron Avenue, according to Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez.

Three men were detained by deputies at the scene, Navarro-Suarez said. It was unclear at first if the men were involved in the incident that resulted in the gunfire, or why they were detained.

There's also no word yet from the department regarding what precipitated the non-injury shooting or how many deputies were involved in the shooting.
