Officer Manley was among three people who were injured last Wednesday, when the Arcadia Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and SWAT members responded to a family disturbance call.

After the officers arrived at the scene, a suspect located inside the home began firing at the officers, striking Manley in the face and prompting an hours-long standoff.

The suspect, later identified as 47-year-old Nurhan Venk, also struck his 73-year-old mother and an elderly neighbor, FOX 11 in Los Angeles reported. He initially went to the home armed and threatened his mother, police said.
