ARCADIA, Calif.—A man accused of shooting an Arcadia police officer in the face and wounding two other people—including his 73-year-old mother—and sparking a roughly five-hour standoff, was in custody Aug. 11, and the officer was being treated at a hospital and expected to recover.
Nurhan Venk, 47, who suffered an apparently accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to his leg during the incident, was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, according to Lt. Derrick Alfred of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
