On Saturday night, a possibly armed male suspect was wounded in an officer-involved shooting in Downey. The incident occurred near the intersection of Stewart and Grey Road.
Downey Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene following reports of a gunshot victim. Upon arrival, they were instructed to stage away from the area as the suspect, who had sustained a gunshot wound to the face, was still potentially armed.
Once the situation was deemed secure, paramedics were allowed to approach but ultimately did not transport the injured suspect. Initial reports suggest that police officers may have fired upon the suspect in an alleyway behind the specified address.
A large crime scene has been established by police as the investigation continues to unfold. Further details will be provided as they become available.
