California State Park Rangers shot a man who was allegedly armed with a gun at the Lake Perris State Recreation Area over the weekend. 

They responded to a parking lot near the lake at around 7 p.m. after hearing shots fired, according to a statement from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. 

"Upon arriving in the area, officers contacted a subject who attempted to produce a firearm concealed on his person, resulting in an officer-involved shooting," deputies said. 

The man was struck by gunfire and taken to a nearby hospital by park rangers, where he was treated for what they called non-life-threatening injuries. 

They have not identified the suspect. 

The sheriff's department's Force Investigation Detail has assumed the investigation. 

Anyone who knows more is asked to contact investigators at (951) 955-2777.
