An off-duty Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy got into a fistfight in Highland Park that turned into a melee, leaving her with stab wounds and another combatant with gunshot wounds, authorities said today.<\/p>\n
\nThe deputy, who was on medical leave from the sheriff’s department, was in stable condition at a hospital following the fight that broke out about 1:20 a.m. Tuesday, a sheriff’s department spokesman said. <\/p>\n
The fight between the woman, identified by the sheriff’s department as an off-duty deputy, and another woman broke out outside the Cave bar at 60th and Figueroa streets.<\/p>\n
"Two people got in a fistfight, but it turned into a huge melee, where one person got shot and one person got stabbed," said LAPD Officer Bruce Borihanh. The other woman also was in stable condition, he said.<\/p>\n
Investigators did not know who fired the gunshots or wielded the knife, he said. At least two people were arrested in connection with the melee, Borihanh said.<\/p>\n
\nHe said police learned of the altercation when one of the injured sought assistance at a nearby L.A. city fire station.
\nSources familiar with the investigation said the stabbing and shooting were related to a party in the area.<\/p>\n
Authorities did not release the deputy’s name.<\/p>\n
