According to LASD, the deputies were responding to a shooting reported at Los Arcos Restaurant in the 5700 block of Whittier boulevard.

Three people were wounded in the shooting. Details of their injuries were not immediately known. The suspects remain outstanding, according to LASD.

LASD said the two deputy sheriffs crashed into each other about a mile away from the shooting at Beverly Boulevard and Hillview avenue. The impact of that crash caused damage to a building and took down a traffic light.
