A California Highway Patrol officer was killed and two others were injured in an officer-involved shooting near the 215 Freeway in Riverside on Monday evening, according to reports.
The incident occurred at roughly 5:35 p.m. local time, according to KNBC. California Highway Patrol officers exchanged gunfire with a suspect, who was shot and pronounced dead at a hospital, according to the The Los Angeles Times.
"An Officer involved shooting occurred earlier today," the CHP tweeted on Monday night. "Three of our officers were involved and a suspect. One of our officers succumbed to the injuries sustained."
The conditions of the two officers are unknown. The Riverside Police Department did not immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
"One officer was transported to the county hospital in Moreno Valley in our (police) helicopter," Riverside Police Department's spokesman Officer Ryan Railsback said, according to KNBC. "The other officer was taken to the hospital in a CHP unit."
Aerial footage shot by KNBC shows visible damage from gunshots on the windshield of a police car.
"We don't know why," Railsback told The Los Angeles Times of what sparked the shooting. "That is all going to be part of this lengthy investigation."
