Officers in the Los Angeles Police
Department’s elite Metropolitan Division, recently deployed to the city’s
most violent areas, shot a man armed with a gun on a roof in South L.A.,
authorities said.
Officers with the LAPD’s crime
suppression detail were patrolling in the 5800 block of Broadway before
midnight Tuesday night when they tried to stop a pedestrian, said Officer
Liliana Preciado.
The officers are part of a select unit
within the LAPD that Chief Charlie Beck recently deployed to try to
suppress an increase in violent crime.
When they tried to stop the pedestrian,
a man in his 20s, about 11:50 p.m., he ran, Preciado said. Police officials did
not immediately say why officers had tried to stop him.
Officers briefly lost sight of the man
but spotted him again moments later on a second-story roof pointing a gun
at them, Preciado said.
