Overview
- CHP officers responded to a reported assault on a tow truck driver on the eastbound 210 and a chase began at about 3 a.m., according to agency statements.
- The pursuit ended at a gas station on Arrow Highway and Citrus Avenue in Covina where officers fired and a suspect was struck and taken to a hospital.
- The tow truck driver was also hospitalized with non‑life‑threatening injuries and no officers were reported hurt at the scene.
- All eastbound lanes of the 210 were closed during the response, producing major traffic backups while investigators worked the scene.
- The CHP has released few details while the case remains an active investigation and the shooting will likely prompt internal review and possible outside oversight given recent high‑profile freeway officer‑involved incidents.
