       A gun was recovered at the scene, the statement added.

       Many police departments have a policy of placing on leave, pending an investigation, any officers who are involved in the use of their weapons. The Huntington Beach statement did not identify the responding officers or address whether they would be placed on leave but it said the Orange County Sheriff's Department would lead an investigation into the incident.
