Suspect Shot in Anaheim by FBI Investigating Vegas Homicide

ANAHEIM, CA -- A suspect was shot Tuesday in Anaheim by a law enforcement officer assigned to an FBI task force investigating a homicide out of Las Vegas.

The shooting happened just before 10 a.m. in a nursery yard at 2715 W. Broadway, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Daron Wyatt.

An FBI task force was pursuing a homicide suspect from Las Vegas in Anaheim when an officer assigned to the task force got into a confrontation with the man, which led to an officer-involved shooting, Wyatt said.

The officer was not an FBI agent, but police were not saying which agency the officer works for, Wyatt said.

The 24-year-old suspect was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange in critical condition, Wyatt said.
