The third victim, 83-year-old Zoo Ching Yang, a family neighbor, was struck by a stray bullet. Authorities said the officers didn't fire back at him.

The injuries were reported to be critical but non-life-threatening. Yang's son spoke with the media and said: "Our family doesn't even involve with them. That's why I was surprised I wasn't expecting. I thought maybe there was a mistake or something." An officer and two civilians were injured in the Arcadia shooting Bourgeous said the officer, whose identity has not yet been revealed and who was injured in the shooting, is in his twenties, has been with the Police Department for about six months, and has three years of law enforcement experience. The man remained inside the house for hours after the shooting and is believed to be armed with several handguns, according to Bourgeous. Authorities evacuated nearby homes and urged other residents to take cover as efforts were made to apprehend the gunman. Bourgeous also asked Venk to surrender during the news conference. He said: "We want this to resolve peacefully." The LAPD SWAT team assisted in the operation. Venk reportedly spoke to Arcadia police on the phone throughout the barricading, making nonsensical statements. Venk walked out of the house with his hands up around 10:40 p.m. and surrendered to Arcadia authorities shortly after deputies started launching grenades in front of the house.
