L.A. County sheriff’s deputies shot and wounded a Bell man Tuesday when he answered his door armed with a gun, a department spokesman said.<\/p>\n
No deputies were injured in the 11:30 a.m. incident in the 6000 block of Bear Avenue, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. The man’s condition was not immediately known.<\/p>\n
Details were sketchy, but Whitmore said the deputy-involved shooting occurred as members of the department’s special enforcement bureau were assisting the Bell Police Department with an "armed, assault with a deadly weapon suspect."<\/p>\n
As deputies arrived and began taking up positions, the man "came to the door armed with a firearm," Whitmore said.<\/p>\n
"A shooting ensued, resulting in the suspect being shot," he said<\/p>\n
