Domestic disturbance suspect armed with a gun is shot by Pomona police officers after he fled, crashes

An investigation is underway after a man was hospitalized after being shot by a Pomona police officer Sunday evening.

Authorities responded to the 200 block of Las Brisas Circle around 7:30 p.m. for a report of shots fired during a domestic disturbance, according to a statement by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

"The suspect left the residence in a vehicle at a high rate of speed and caused a traffic collision at the intersection of Holt Avenue and White Avenue," according to the sheriff's statement.

When the suspect did not comply with orders to exit the vehicle, officers created a barricade around the vehicle, and an officer-involved shooting occurred, officials said.

"Preliminary reports indicate the suspect pointed a firearm at officers," Pomona police said in a statement, noting that no officers were injured.

The suspect was struck by gunfire and taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition, according to PPD Chief Michael Ellis.

No other injuries were reported, and a firearm was recovered at the scene. The suspect's name has not been released.
