Summary
An LASD tactical team arrested a man who reportedly fired a shotgun at deputies in Compton as they responded to a call Thursday morning.
The action unfolded at about 7:30 a.m. near Acacia Avenue and Magnolia Street, just up the street from the Compton Courthouse, when the suspect allegedly fired on deputies from an apartment building.
No deputies were injured, according to [reports](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/deputies-fired-upon-while-responding-to-call-in-compton/).
