A suspected gunman is in custody after authorities say he shot a cop in the face and then led SWAT on an hours-long standoff inA source initially told FOX 11 of a possible shooting investigation in the 2500 block of Greenfield Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. The Arcadia Police Department later confirmed the location of the incident, adding that the incident stemmed from a fight between two brothers. One of the brothers was armed with a gun.
When Arcadia PD arrived, the armed man started shooting at the officers, hitting one of them in the face.
