A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson could not immediately answer questions about the incident, which marked the second LAPD shooting in as many days.
An officer in Guadalupe shot at a suspect who police believed was holding a gun; one bullet ricocheted off the ground, then hit a bystander in the head.who was allegedly armed with a knife.
Rampart Division patrol officers were called around 3:30 p.m. Monday to a domestic violence restraining order violation at an apartment building in the 200 block of South Witmer Street, authorities said. The officers spoke with a man in his 40s who was inside a unit, but the man wouldn’t come out or comply with orders, police said. They continued talking to him for about 15 minutes before he allegedly “armed himself with a large knife.”
Officers used “less lethal” options, including pepper spray and a Taser, and the man momentarily dropped the knife but immediately rearmed himself, police said. Police then fatally shot the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
