No deputies were injured. <\/p>\n<p>The man was pronounced dead at the scene by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, the Sheriff\u2019s Department said. No other information, including the victim\u2019s identity and the circumstances of the shooting, were released.<\/p>\n<p>The Sheriff\u2019s Homicide Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau, among others, will conduct investigations into the shooting, officials said. The Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office will also conduct a legal analysis to determine whether any criminal charges must be filed and if the shooting was justified. <\/p>\n<p>AB7 reported that the incident involved a robbery but deputies didn\u2019t confirm that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe heard some automatic weapon gunshots, and first thing we thought was maybe this was a car going by or something else,\u201d said Shawn Dadon, who witnessed the shooting. He told <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/post\/lapd-responding-reports-shooting-michaels-store-west-hills\/18452270\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ABC7<\/a> that he heard gunshots in the area. He also saw six cars pull out of the shopping area and follow another car out of the parking lot. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then it was like, five or seven bullets, stopped for a second, and five or seven more bullets shooting. It looked like the police was hiding all around,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were not in visible sight until the shooting happened, and then they came from all around.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was shot and killed Thursday evening by sheriff\u2019s deputies near a Michael\u2019s store in West Hills,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[599,6577,283,42119,167,13551,21079,48,52,51,47,21803,50,49,1555,57887,73621,2637,135,826,42357],"class_list":["post-148260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-area","tag-authority","tag-car","tag-circumstance","tag-deputy","tag-homicide-bureau","tag-identity","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-county-sheriff","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-man","tag-michael","tag-other-information","tag-sheriff","tag-shooting","tag-store","tag-west-hills"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
