A person was hospitalized following a shooting involving Monterey Park police on Thursday, according to authorities. The incident unfolded near Pomona and Atlantic boulevards, close to the Monterey Park border, in an area of East Los Angeles.
According to CBS News Los Angeles, the person was hospitalized after the shooting. NBC Los Angeles reported that an investigation was underway after the Monterey Park Police Department shooting, which authorities said happened in East Los Angeles on Thursday.
The station reported that the shooting took place near Pomona and Atlantic boulevards, close to the border of Monterey Park. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said deputies from the East LA Station responded to assist Monterey Park police at the scene, per the same report.
Conflicting Reports on Whether Anyone Was Hurt
The accounts of the shooting's aftermath diverge. While CBS News Los Angeles reported that a person was hospitalized following the incident, NBC Los Angeles said it remained unclear whether anyone was injured in the shooting. Both outlets confirmed the shooting itself occurred Thursday near the Monterey Park border, but the discrepancy over injuries had not been resolved as of the latest reporting.
No further details on what led to the shooting, who was involved, or whether any arrests followed have been released by authorities. The investigation remains active, and neither CBS News Los Angeles nor the station's report specified a timeline for additional information.
Part of a Broader Pattern Across LA County
Several officer-involved shootings have occurred across Los Angeles County this year. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office lists several such incidents from this past summer, including nonfatal shootings involving a minor, Jillian Shriner, and Carlos Zepeda Jr., as well as a fatal shooting involving Olban Perdomo in July. Elsewhere in the region, a man was hospitalized in May after being wounded during an alleged shootout with police in Covina, according to CBS Los Angeles.
For now, the circumstances surrounding Thursday's shooting near Monterey Park remain under investigation, with key questions about what preceded the gunfire and the condition of anyone involved still unanswered.
