Two LAPD officers were injured in a shootout in Carson near the intersection of 92nd and Central. The incident unfolded after a call for assistance was issued, leading officers to the location where shots were exchanged. One officer sustained a gunshot wound to the forearm, while the second officer suffered an injury to the hand caused by a ricocheted bullet.
Both officers were transported separately to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where the officer with the hand injury was able to walk out of the ambulance. LAPD quickly responded with a large containment setup in the area to apprehend the suspect. After an extensive search, officers found the suspect hiding in a truck with a gunshot wound to the leg, reportedly sustained during the initial exchange of gunfire.
The LAPD continues its investigation, with authorities remaining on high alert to secure the area and ensure public safety.
