On Monday evening in Pasadena, a police officer was shot while responding to a call about a man with a gunshot wound near the Sierra Madre Villa Metro station.
Officers spotted someone matching the shooter's description and chased him for several blocks.
During the chase, the suspect fired at police and was killed in an exchange of gunfire.
Officer and original shooting victim both stable
The injured officer—a senior field training officer—was awake when taken to Huntington Hospital, but his condition wasn't clear as of late Monday.
