Sources confirm that one person was wounded during an incident in the 600 block of West Holt Avenue in Pomona, which culminated in police gunfire on the evening of June 9, 2024. The events started around 7:45 p.m., although it remains unclear if police were in pursuit at the time. Witnesses recorded footage showing the police opening fire after the individual reportedly brandished a firearm towards them post-crash. Images from the scene show the individual raising their hand out of the car window, then exiting the vehicle and laying amongst the wreckage and shattered glass on the street. Police officers advanced with firearms drawn and took the individual into custody. The person was subsequently transported to the hospital in a stable condition. At the site of the incident, law enforcement reportedly recovered a firearm. No additional injuries were reported. Local residents were advised to avoid the area as the investigation continued. Details about the person involved, such as their age or gender, were not immediately available. Investigation into the circumstances surrounding the police gunfire has been handed over to investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
