A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department detective was shot while executing a search warrant in the Antelope Valley on Wednesday afternoon, according to authorities. 

At around 3:15 p.m., Los Angeles County Fire Department crews were called to the 13000 block of E. Avenue R, near 230th Street, in the Littlerock area for a gunshot victim, department officials told CBS LA. 

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies, who are assisting with the investigation, told CBS LA that the SBSD deputies were serving a search warrant at a home in the area when a shooting occurred. Law enforcement sources said that the warrant was being conducted in connection with a narcotics investigation. 

SBSO officials tell CBS LA that a detective was shot during the incident and taken to a nearby hospital in unknown condition. At the latest, they were undergoing treatment.

A suspect was also fatally wounded during the shootout. They have not yet been identified. 

No other injuries were immediately reported in the incident and it's unknown if anyone has been taken into custody.

Aerial footage from the scene of the shooting showed more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles in a remote part of the Antelope Valley. A large part of one property in the area had been blocked off by crime scene tape, including two white SUVS that had several of the vehicle doors ajar.
