Covina Man Wounded After Shootout on Grandview Avenue

A quiet Covina block turned chaotic late Friday morning when gunfire cracked through the 200 block of North Grandview Avenue, ending with a man grazed by a bullet and in handcuffs after an exchange of shots with police. Neighbors were left rattled, but authorities say no one else was hurt.

Officers responded to reports of shots fired on the residential stretch and confronted a man who allegedly opened fire on them. The suspect was hit by what officials described as a grazing wound, taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, then released into police custody.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were called to the scene at about 11:30 a.m. in the 200 block of North Grandview Avenue. When officers arrived, the suspect allegedly exited the location and began firing rounds at responding officers, triggering an officer-involved shooting. Investigators later recovered a handgun believed to have been used, and the suspect was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, according to CBS Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department assisted the Covina Police Department with the investigation, and authorities said the scene was contained quickly after the suspect surrendered without further incident. The shooting unfolded on a residential stretch north of East Badillo Street, and law enforcement officials reiterated that no other injuries were reported, per MyNewsLA.
