A local pastor has been arrested in connection with the shooting of an off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy in Harbor City.

Gordon Mueller, 58, was arrested Monday night after the shooting at a home in the 23300 block of Dorset Place. Police at the time said the deputy went to the home for an unknown reason, got involved in a dispute, and was shot by a resident of the home.

The shooting was believed to have been the result of a family disturbance. The wounded deputy is expected to be OK.

Mueller co-founded the Believers Victory International Church in Carson with his wife.
