In another incident, the LAPD and Marines intervened in a domestic dispute in Compton, in which the suspect held his wife and children [[hostage]]. As the officers approached, the suspect fired two shotgun rounds through the door, injuring some of the officers. One of the officers yelled to the Marines, "Cover me," as per law enforcement training to be prepared to fire if necessary. However, per their military training, the Marines interpreted the wording as providing cover by establishing a base of [[firepower]], resulting in a total of 200 rounds being sprayed into the house. Remarkably, neither the suspect nor the woman and children inside the house were harmed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://case.hks.harvard.edu/the-flawed-emergency-response-to-the-1992-los-angeles-riots-c/ |title=The Flawed Emergency Response to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots |work=Kennedy School of Government Case Program |page=21}}</ref>
