Man shot and arrested by police in Pomona – NBC Los Angeles

Officers shot and arrested a man Sunday following a standoff in the middle of an intersection in Pomona.

Pomona police officers responded to the 200 block of Las Brisas Circle around 7:35 p.m. Sunday after receiving a report of “shots fired during a domestic dispute,” according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating on the shooting.

“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 release.

When the suspect did not obey commands to exit the vehicle, officers initiated a tactical vehicle barricade operation and an officer-involved shootout occurred, sheriff's officials said.

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

“The suspect was struck by gunfire,” according to the sheriff’s statement. “He was treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital where he is currently in stable condition. A firearm was recovered at the scene.

The name of the suspect was not immediately released.
