Deputies with the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Station responded to the area after receiving a 911 call about a domestic disturbance where shots were fired, ABC7 reports.
When responding deputies arrived, the sheriff's department said 48-year-old Raul Martinez and the woman were standing near the car behind the open driver's side door.
According to the sheriff's department, when a deputy got out of his patrol vehicle, Martinez pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the deputy. Bodycam footage shows the deputy drawing his gun and pointing it at Martinez.
Martinez was shot and apparently passed out, according to the video. He was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening wounds.
