A dog was shot to death by Los Angeles police and a man was detained after “suspicious devices” were allegedly discovered early Monday morning during a routine traffic stop in Sun Valley.
The traffic stop occurred about 1 a.m. Monday on the 8400 block of Telfair Avenue, between Tuxford and Penrose streets, where officers “encountered suspicious devices in the vehicle,” the Los Angeles Police Department reported.
A bomb squad was called to the scene, and during the course of evacuations, police encountered a “vicious dog,” which triggered a shooting involving officers. The dog was struck by gunfire and died.
An officer was injured and taken to a hospital for a dog bite, according to a police statement. The officer was said to have stable vital signs.
“One individual is being detained for questioning regarding the suspicious devices,” according to the police statement.
The LAPD’s Major Crimes Division was dispatched to the scene to take responsibility for the devices investigation, and Force Investigation personnel were sent to the location to investigate the fatal shooting of the dog.
