The man, whose name was not immediately made public, is expected to survive gunshot wounds to his lower body.

Long Beach police say they recovered a paintball pistol at the scene early Sunday morning.

Investigators are reviewing body camera footage from the shooting.

The officers were called to the scene around 1 a.m. Sunday after gunshots were heard in the area.
