Pomona Police Fatally Shoot Suspect

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies were helping investigate the incident, which occurred Saturday night.

Pomona police fatally shot a woman tonight, officials said.

It happened about 9:45 p.m. in the 900 block of West Holt Avenue, according to Deputy Irys Alvarez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, Alvarez said.

Sheriff's Homicide Bureau detectives were assisting Pomona police in the officer-involved shooting investigation, Alvarez said.

No officers were injured, she said.

A witness at the scene said the woman was inside a room at the Deluxe Motel, and that U.S. Marshals had been observed at the scene.

The woman was an apparent suspect, but it was not revealed why she was sought.

@Muslim radicals are the problem here. This jihad/war whatever the hell you want to call it, willRead More never end in our lifetime. Ultimately the Muslims will win. Look no further than Europe. Unless there is a full fledged worldwide war, they really can't be stopped. Their numbers are too great. What we are doing in Afghanistan is nothing more than swatting away a bee every time one flies out of the hive. But there are millions still in the hive. Unless we close our borders to people from the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, what happened in Boston will continue. It's not racist to not like Muslims just like it wasn't racist to not like the Russians during the Cold War or Germans during WWII.

Thanks to these two scum brothers, I can no longer transport my hearty meals in my trusty pressureRead More cooker via backpack. As an alternative, I tried to fit a crock pot, but it ruined my backpack zipper and made a meatball/marinara mess inside my backpack; even making way into the USB ports of my laptop. Sorry, tupperware won't cut it. It just gets too hot and eventually leaves a huge welt on my back.
