An off-duty Los Angeles police officer has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot a fellow officer while on a camping trip, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.
The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department responded to reports of a shooting just after 1 a.m. Sunday and found a man who had been shot, along with two uninjured men. LAPD officials said all three are department employees, two off-duty officers and one off-duty supervisor.
Officer Ismael Tamayo, 44, was arrested after investigators with the sheriff's department determined he shot the victim, who is expected to survive, in the upper body, the department said in a statement. He is being held on $1 million bail.

The shooting took place in an unincorporated area of Apple Valley, about 90 miles northeast of Los Angeles in neighboring San Bernardino County. Tamayo was taken into custody without incident, officials said.
Investigators are still working to determine a motive behind the shooting, the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department said in a statement. The department said the three men had been camping in the area and shooting guns over the weekend.
Tamayo "has been relieved of his police powers pending the outcome of the criminal and administrative investigation," according to police.

"The events overnight culminating in the serious injury to our off-duty officer, apparently at the hands of another member of this department, give me great concern," LAPD Chief Michel Moore said in a statement. "I spoke earlier this morning with San Bernardino Sheriff John McMahon, pledging our full support of their criminal investigation."
He added, "I am thankful our injured officer is in stable condition and expected to survive. I am committed to determining what and how this occurred."
