Los Angeles police officers shot and killed a man who allegedly pointed a handgun at them after they were sent to a North Hollywood location to investigate an assault with a deadly weapon — and where they found a person dead in a vehicle.
Officers went to the 12100 block of Victory Boulevard shortly before 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 16, on the call, LAPD Detective Meghan Aguilar said.
When officers arrived, she said, a suspect pointed a handgun at the officers, and they fired at the man, who ran north on Bellingham Avenue in a neighborhood.
Officers sealed off a perimeter.
At some point, the suspect came out of a parking structure and officers fired again, Aguilar said.
The suspect ran back into the structure and then tried to leave again, still armed, and officers opened fire again, fatally wounding the man, who died at the scene, Aguilar said.
Authorities found a handgun.
It was unclear if the suspect fired at the officers.
