Man shot by Broward sheriff's deputy in West Park
A man was shot by a Broward sheriff's deputy in West Park Sunday afternoon after punching a deputy in the face, according to the sheriff's office. The man, who was not identified, was taken to the hospital. An update on his condition was not immediately available. The incident began shortly before 12:30 p.m. when a 911 caller reported a 'suspicious incident involving a weapon,' on the 4000 block of S.W. 26 Street, said Carey Codd, spokesman for the sheriff's office. 'On scene an adult male subject punched a deputy in the face,' he said at a news conference, held in front of yellow crime-scene tape that blocked off the street of single-family houses between Pembroke Road and Hallandale Beach Boulevard. 'During the altercation, a deputy was forced to fire their weapon in response to the ongoing threat. The adult male subject was struck by the gunfire.' Deputies provided medical assistance at the scene, he said, and the man was taken to the hospital. The deputy who was punched was also taken to the hospital and appeared to be OK, Codd said. Codd said he didn't have information on whether the deputy who was punched was the same one who shot the man, how many shots were fired or whether any weapons were recovered in connection with the initial 911 call. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating, as is standard in police-involved shootings, and the sheriff's office is also investigating, Codd said. Any deputies who fired their weapon will be placed on administrative assignment pending the outcome of the investigation.

1 officer killed, 1 wounded and another person dead in Los Angeles County shooting
BALDWIN PARK, Calif. (AP) — One police officer was killed and another was injured after a shooting Saturday evening in a city east of Los Angeles, authorities said. Another person was found dead. An adult male suspect was wounded but has been taken into custody, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. He said the department is leading an investigation into a double homicide in Baldwin Park. Luna and Baldwin Park Police Chief Robert López held a news conference shortly after the shooting. 'It's extremely tragic to have to deal with this,' López said. The injured officer is in good condition and with his family, he added. Police in Baldwin Park responded to a call at around 7 p.m. of someone shooting rounds with a rifle. When the officers arrived, they were 'met by gunfire,' Luna said. At least one officer fired shots after police came under fire. It is unclear how many shots were fired, but the sheriff said that he believed the weapon used in the shooting has been recovered. The names of the victims have not been released as of Sunday morning. López said the officer who was killed was an 'amazing man' who liked snowboarding and traveled to see Dodger games across the United States. ___ This story corrects that Baldwin Park is east, not west, of Los Angeles.
