COMPTON (CBSLA.com) — A man was taken to a hospital following a deputy-involved shooting in Compton, authorities said.

The suspect was struck multiple times in the torso. He was taken to a hospital. His condition was not known.

No deputies were injured.

The LASD said a 9mm handgun was recovered at the scene.
