LOS ANGELES — Long Beach police officers shot and wounded an off-duty Los Angeles police officer early Wednesday, authorities said.
Officer Jason Geggie was shot after Long Beach officers responded to a call about a person brandishing a gun while walking down the street, Long Beach police said in a statement.
Geggie, a Long Beach resident currently assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department’s central traffic division, was in stable condition at a local hospital with wounds to his arm and torso, the statement said.
The 26-year-old, who has been with the LAPD for a year and a half, was booked for investigation of two counts of exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner, including once in the presence of a police officer.
Both police departments were investigating the shooting.
