OCPD said the suspect, identified as 43-year-old Jerry Yang, fired at officers as well as two children inside the home. Both juveniles were struck by gunfire, resulting in the death of 15-year-old Abel Her.

Investigators said one of the officers was struck by gunfire but have not identified which officer was injured.

Police say the wounded juvenile and the injured officer are expected to recover.

According to OCPD, both officers involved in the shooting have been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
