Police opened fire on a suspect in the Mid-City section of Los Angeles Tuesday, but it was not immediately clear if the suspect was hit.
The shooting happened after officers were called to the 1800 block of Alsace Avenue, just south of Venice Boulevard near Redondo Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
A suspect in a vehicle who was reported to have pointed a gun at someone who asked him to turn his music down had been taken into custody, a department spokeswoman said, citing preliminary information from the scene.
She later said there had been a shooting involving officers, but withheld details until a spokesman arrived at the scene.
A report from the scene showed a gun and a knife were visible behind a police cruiser at the location, where overhead video showed a large presence of officers.
