A man in his 30s was arrested after police say he opened fire on two officers on patrol in Pico Union.
The shooting was reported around noon near the intersection of Pico Boulevard and Dewey Avenue. There, a gunman opened fire on the patrol cruiser and struck the vehicle, prompting officers to shoot in return.“They were just patrolling their neighborhood, you know -- Pico Boulevard. This stretch of Pico Boulevard, as you can see, has a lot of shops,” said Bruce Borihanh of the LAPD.
LAPD said the man, whose name has not been released, was hit by gunfire. The department did not specify if the wound was self-inflicted or by officers. The gunman was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition. Police did not say what charges the man may face in connection with the shooting. No officers were injured.
