One person detained after sheriff’s deputies are shot at in East L.A.
A person was detained after Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were shot at in East L.A. late Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Deputies were shot at after responding to a call for service at 4:50 p.m. in the 4200 block of Fisher Street, said Deputy Alejandra Parra, an L.A. County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson.
The deputies were responding to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon, said Deputy Veronica Fantom, another department spokesperson.
Deputies did not open fire during the incident, Fantom said.
A class action suit contends at least 100 inmates endured intrusive, unconstitutional searches during a lockdown at Men’s Central Jail in L.A.
Authorities set up a containment zone and had one person detained by 6:15 p.m., she said.
The containment will remain in place for an unknown duration.
Further information about the shooting was not immediately available.
