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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
She later said there had been a shooting involving officers, but withheld details until a spokesman arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police opened fire on a suspect in the Mid-City section of Los Angeles Tuesday, but it was not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[33347,168,48,52,51,5015,47,50,49,35342,135],"class_list":["post-213386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-investigates","tag-involving","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lapd","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-officers","tag-shooting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213386","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=213386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
