One person arrested in Indio after shooting involving California Highway Patrol
A barricaded suspect was taken into custody Wednesday morning following an incident in Indio in which a California Highway Patrol officer apparently fired a weapon.
According to a tweet from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, the incident took place in the 81000 block of Sierra Avenue, a residential street in central Indio between Monroe and Clinton Streets, and south of Miles Avenue.
According to CHP Sgt. Robert McLoud, the incident began with a traffic violation that was committed that led to a short pursuit that terminated in that location on Sierra Avenue. McLoud said there were no injuries resulting from the shooting but did not have further information. McCloud said he did not have information about where the pursuit began.
He also said he did not know where specifically the suspect was barricaded and whether the shooting took place on the street or in a residence.
The shooting took place at around 1:30 a.m., the sheriff's department said in a tweet. It added that the suspect was in custody at 6:50 a.m.
"There are no outstanding suspects," said McLoud. "The scene is stable and our officers are there conducting their follow-up investigation."
