POMONA -- Police shot and wounded a man late Friday, however little information about the incident was provided.
The shooting occurred about 7:45 p.m. in the 1400 block of Edgehill Drive, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht said in a written statement.
A person described only as a black man was wounded, and no officers were injured, Hecht said. The condition of the wounded man was not released.

GLENDORA -- A parolee was behind bars Saturday on suspicion of head-butting a woman and seriously injuring her, police said.
Ryan Laing, 38, of Azusa was arrested at his home and booked on suspicion of felony battery about an hour after the alleged attack, which occurred just before 10 a.m. in the 900 block of Walnut Avenue in Glendora, Glendora police Lt. Rob Lamborghini said.
There was an argument between Laing, his girlfriend and the alleged victim, who was an acquaintance of the girlfriend, prior to the attack, the lieutenant said.
Laing head-butted the alleged victim, a 34-year-old Glendora woman, causing a large gash to her head, said Lamborghini.
The woman was hospitalized and released after receiving 17 stitches, he added.
Police tracked Laing to his home in the 1000 block of E. Gaillard Street in Azusa shortly after the incident, Lamborghini said, and he surrendered when officers surrounded the home and ordered him out.
He was being held without bail, he said, and was expected to be arraigned Monday in West Covina Superior Court.

This unuaual story come coutesy of the Associated Press:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A man will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was found guilty in what prosecutors said was a case of scaring a 79-year-old North Carolina
grandmother to death.
Multiple media outlets reported a federal jury found 21-year-old Larry Whitfield not guilty
of murder Friday in the death of Mary Parnell last year. But they did find him guilty of causing her death by kidnapping her, and that carries an automatic life sentence.
Prosecutors say Whitfield was looking for somewhere to hide after a failed bank robbery
attempt in Gastonia in September 2008 when he broke into Parnell's home.
Authorities say Whitfield never touched the grandmother, but she suffered a heart attack
when she saw him, and he didn't call for help.

SOUTH PASADENA -- Police jailed four self-identified members of a tagging crew late Friday, authorities said.
Morgan Smith, 20, of Pasadena, Noe Miller, 18, of South Pasadena, Patrick Hillseth, 18, of South Pasadena and a 16-year-old boy, whose name was not released due to his age, were booked on suspicion of felony vandalism, South Pasadena police Officer Shannon Robledo said.
All four admitted to belonging to a tagging crew that calls itself "United Street Mob" and uses the acronym "USM" when scrawling graffiti, the officer said. The group is believed to be responsible for at least half a dozen incidents of graffiti vandalism in the northern portion of South Pasadena.
"We're going to do further investigation," Robledo said. "We're going to try and build a case against them."
Officers were patrolling on Stoney Drive near the 110 freeway when they saw two men come out of some bushes, Robledo said.
When police began talking to the men, a can of spray paint fell out of one of their sweat shirts, he said.
Both men admitted tagging on the nearby banks of the Los Angeles River, Robledo said, and to belonging to the tagging crew.
Police went to investigate the tagging, and they discovered another man and a teenager hiding in the riverbed, the officer said.
They had paint markings on their hands, he added, and they also admitted to tagging in the riverbed and belonging to the tagging crew.
Officials are now working to build a case against the suspects for other local graffiti attributed to their tagging crew.
The teenage suspect was cited and released to his father with a written promise to appear in court, South Pasadena police Sgt. Robert Bartl said.
According to sheriff's booking records, Morgan and Miller were released Saturday after posting $20,000 bail, while Hillseth was still being held in lieu of $20,000 bail. No information was available regarding their initial court appearances.

Two men were robbed at gunpoint early Friday in Monterey Park and Alhambra, and officials suspect the same robber is responsible.
The first robbery was reported about 5:45 a.m. in the 2300 block of Hathaway Avenue in Alhambra, Alhambra police Lt. Dan Rodriguez said.
A man was walking on the sidewalk when a white pickup truck, possibly a Toyota or Nissan approached, the lieutenant said.
A passenger got out of the truck, pointed a rifle at the victim and demanded money, he said.
The victim complied, and the robber got back into the truck with the driver and drove off, Rodriguez said. No description of the driver was available.
The gunman was described as a Latino man in his 20s with a small mustache, wearing a beanie, a black jacket and dark-colored jeans, police said.
Less than 30 minutes later, a man was parking his car in the 1400 block of Ridgecrest Street in Monterey Park when he was also robbed, Monterey Park police Lt. Carrie Mazelin said.
A robber described as a Latino man in his 20s, wearing a gray and black shirt and blue jeans approached him with what was described as a black, Uzi-type handgun and demanded property, Mazelin said.
He stole cash, a purse that was inside the car, jewelry and other items before fleeing in a white pickup truck with a waiting driver, she said.
Because of similar suspect descriptions, as well as the close proximity and time frame in which the robberies occurred, investigators believe the robberies are connected, Rodriguez and Mazelin said.

WEST COVINA -- The smell of lacquer from a freshly refinished counter top prompted concerns at a large apartment building Thursday, authorities said.
Fire officials responded to a three-story apartment building at 800 S. Sunset Avenue just after 7 p.m. after people reported a strong, unidentified chemical odor, West Covina Fire Department Assistant Chief Randy Isaman said.
Firefighters arrived and also smelled the odor, so they had police prepare to do evacuations if necessary while they asked residents to remain in their homes, Isaman said.
Officials found the cause of the odor before evacuations were carried out, he added, and residents were able to remain in their homes.
Building maintenance workers planned to continue ventilating the building through the night to get rid of the remaining odor.

NORWALK -- Tips from the public Thursday led deputies to a La Mirada man suspected of committing an armed robbery while holding a young boy in his arms.
Jeremy Gallegos, 20, was booked on suspicion of robbery and child endangerment, Los Angeles County sheriff's Detective John Moore said.
"This is quite shocking," the detective said of the unusual crime. He's committing an armed robbery holding a child in his arms. Anything at any point could happen."
Officials believe Gallegos is the man pictured holding a child in a surveillance photo taken inside a liquor store in the 11000 block of Rosecrans Avenue in Norwalk  on Oct. 28, just before he allegedly brandished a handgun and robbed another man in the store's parking lot.
The arrest came the day after sheriff's officials released those photos to the public.
Moore said members of the public who saw those photos tipped police off about the identity of the alleged robber.
The detective said Gallegos was baby-sitting the child for friends, who knew nothing of the robbery until deputies informed them.
"The child's fine and back with his parents," Moore said.
"They're not happy," he said of the boy's parents.
Deputies were carrying out a search warrant at Gallegos' La Mirada home late Thursday searching for evidence linking him to the crime, Moore said.
Gallegos allegedly stole a wallet and some alcohol from the victim during the crime, sheriff's officials said in a written statement.
The victim in the robbery was described as a 47-year-old man and was not injured in the crime, officials added.
According to sheriff's booking records, Gallegos is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and is due for arraignment in Bellflower Superior Court Tuesday.
