An off-duty sheriff’s deputy leaving the Galleria at Tyler in Riverside on Saturday with his family shot and wounded a gun-wielding man who tried to rob them, police said Sunday.

Multiple people called 911 after hearing gunfire that erupted in the mall’s parking lot at 9:45 p.m., officials from the Riverside Police Department said.

In a written statement, police said that’s around when the suspect — later identified as 25-year-old Moreno Valley resident Victor Hugo Ochoa — approached the deputy and his family members.

Police said the suspect “produced a firearm, then demanded (the family’s) belongings.”

“This attempted armed robbery resulted in a deputy-involved shooting,” police said in the statement.

The deputy fired his weapon at least once at the suspect. It’s not clear whether the deputy was armed with his department-issued firearm or another gun at the time of the shooting.

It’s also not clear if the suspect fired his weapon. Neither the deputy nor any of this family members were injured in the incident.

Riverside Police Officer Ryan Railsback said that after the shooting, the suspect fled to a nearby vehicle, then drove away. About 15 minutes later, Ochoa appeared at a hospital in Riverside’s Magnolia Center neighborhood with a single gunshot wound that police said was non-life threatening.
