A suspect was shot by police at the end of a chase on the 405 Freeway in Westchester on Friday morning, June 5 prompting a full northbound closure that snarled traffic as the morning commute got under way.
Officers responded to a report of a robbery around 4:15 a.m. in the 5800 block of Manchester Avenue, according to Los Angeles police.
A chase ensued, with the suspect fleeing onto the northbound 405.
The suspect, reported to have brandished a gun in a convenience store, stopped near Howard Hughes Parkway and that’s where the shooting happened, according to the California Highway Patrol.
An LAPD spokesman declined to release details, including the suspect’s condition, until a public information officer arrived at the scene and gathered facts. A broadcast report showed video of officers behind shields carefully approaching a downed person behind a dark-colored Kia.
The Los Angeles Fire Department reported taking one person to a hospital.
The northbound 405 Freeway remained closed hours after the shooting, with traffic diverted at Howard Hughes Parkway. The northbound back-up extended beyond the 105 Freeway to Rosecrans Avenue, according to Caltrans.
