Youth, Man Wounded in 2 Police Shooting Cases

A Los Angeles teen-ager was shot and wounded Saturday by a police officer after the youth allegedly fired a gun at the officer and his partner in South Los Angeles, police said.

In a separate incident in Long Beach, a 21-year-old robbery suspect was shot by two Long Beach police officers who caught him in an alleged robbery. Police said the man pointed a handgun at them when they caught him robbing someone near Baltic Avenue and Burnett Street.

None of the officers was injured in the two incidents.

Wounded in Abdomen

The 17-year-old boy, whose name was withheld because he is a juvenile, was in stable condition at Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital with a wound in the abdomen. Police said he will be booked at Juvenile Hall on suspicion of attempted murder when his condition improves.

Los Angeles Officers Roger W. Gilbert and Jack H. Schonely had been called to Harvard Boulevard and Vernon Avenue because of reports of gang activity and gunshots when they saw the youth with a gun, police said.

Police said the teen-ager fired one shot at the officers. Gilbert returned one shot and Schonely fired three shots, they said.

In Long Beach, two police officers, who were not identified, shot Terron Warren on Friday night after he allegedly pointed a gun at them. They chased the wounded robbery suspect about one block to the backyard of a home on Caspian Avenue, where he was arrested.

Warren, of Long Beach, was in fair condition at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center with gunshot wounds in the lower abdomen, a hospital spokesman said. He was charged with robbery, police said.
