CA: Lancaster - Gunfight, Man Wounded, Suicide Attempt

Initial Call: Deputies from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station and California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to a "shots fired" call. An intoxicated man was reportedly firing at his neighbor, who returned fire and was struck before the call disconnected.
 
The Standoff: Upon arrival, law enforcement observed the suspect moving between outbuildings on the property while armed. Although a Deputy-Involved Shooting (DIS) occurred during the encounter, the suspect did not appear to be hit by police gunfire at that time.
 
Resolution: Air units from the LASD and CHP observed the suspect's hat on the ground near a pool of blood following the sound of a single gunshot heard by ground units. Entry was made by a CHP supervisor and deputies, who located the suspect and initiated CPR, though the wound appeared self-inflicted.
