LOS ANGELES � One officer was fatally shot and another wounded Friday night on the scene of a barricaded suspect in Pomona, Calif., according to authorities.
Pomona Police Chief Mike Olivieri said in a tweet about 1:35 a.m. Saturday that one officer had died and the other was in stable condition.
No arrest had been made.
About 11:45 p.m. Friday, Olivieri had reported that two officers were wounded by the suspect's gunfire, at least one severely. SWAT personnel were still active at the scene.
The L.A. County Sheriff's homicide unit was also responding to assist in the investigation.
The incident occurred about 9:10 p.m. on the 1400 block of South Palomares Street. Dispatchers relayed reports of "officer down" near the intersection of Palomares and Fernleaf Avenue. A law enforcement source said about 75 officers from nearby police agencies responded to the scene but were unable to remove the officers to safety because of the gunman.
The officers, both with the Pomona Police Department, were eventually extracted and taken to a hospital, according to the source.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department was called out to the scene around 9:30 p.m. to assist, said dispatch supervisor Jeremy Stafford.
Footage on local news reports showed officers trying to perform CPR on a man lying on the pavement.
