MADERA (KMJ) — One man has been taken into custody following an officer involved shooting in Madera County. One sergeant was injured in the overnight standoff, which was initially reported as a domestic disturbance involving a firearm.
Dispatch was called around 9pm Sunday, sending Madera County Sheriff’s Office to a home on the 28000 block of Avenue 15¾.
