Summary
A 46-year-old attempted murder suspect was shot around 12:20 p.m. Thursday while in police custody at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks.
The man had been hospitalized for treatment after Simi Valley officers arrested him in an earlier stabbing case and kept him under constant supervision, police said.
During a medical assessment, the supervising officer called for hospital staff because the suspect appeared to need attention; authorities have not said what prompted police to open fire.
The suspect was treated at the hospital, remains in stable condition and is still in Simi Valley police custody, while officials said there is no threat to the public.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office is leading the shooting investigation with the district attorney's office participating, and Simi Valley police are conducting a separate probe into the incident and the earlier stabbing.
