The Long Beach Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting which occurred on June 16, 2024.

At approximately 8:55 p.m., officers were dispatched to an apartment building with multiple calling parties reporting a woman with a gun in the 1000 block of Long Beach Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers located the female adult suspect who was armed with a firearm. She went into her residence.

At one point, she opened the door and pointed the firearm towards officers, which resulted in an officer-involved shooting. The suspect then barricaded herself inside her residence.

SWAT responded to the scene and attempted to deescalate the situation. After about four hours of unsuccessful attempts to contact her, SWAT officers deployed gas. The suspect then surrendered and was taken into custody.

The suspect sustained a gunshot wound to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel transported the suspect to a local hospital for medical clearance prior to booking, where she was listed stable condition.

Officers recovered a replica firearm.

No officers were injured. No other injuries were reported.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene.

Officers were equipped with body-worn cameras. LBPD is in the process of reviewing the footage and will make that available to the public as soon as possible.

As with all officer-involved shooting incidents, the Department will be conducting a full and thorough multi-level review of the incident. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will conduct an independent investigation of the incident, as they do with all officer-involved shootings that result in injury or death.
