PEARBLOSSOM, Calif. (KABC) — A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy shot and wounded a suspect at a gas station Thursday morning in Pearblossom.

Deputies responded about 6:45 a.m. to a “call for service” in the 13000 block of Pearblossom Highway, just west of Longview Road, the Sheriff’s Department said.

The unidentified suspect was believed to be armed, possibly with a knife, and was uncooperative before the shooting occurred, authorities said.
