Here’s another instance of police being shot at in an apparent ambush in Los Angeles.
Detectives were sitting in their car when the suspect opened fire in an apparent ambush.
The detectives returned fire, striking the man. He was rushed to a hospital and his condition is unknown.
It’s not clear if any of the Detectives were hit.
According to KTLA, the incident occurred at the 600 block of West 43rd Place, near Figueroa Street.
Will this be another #BlackLivesMatter supporter like the cockroach murderer in New York?
More details as they come in.
UPDATE!
More information makes it appear that the initial reports might have been missing critical details:
The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Division officers came upon the man, who was the subject of an investigation they were conducting, when shots were fired, Rogers said.
An LAPD spokeswoman, Officer Liliana Preciado, initially said the man who was shot had first opened fire on detectives as they sat in their car, but Rogers said that could not be confirmed.
It was not clear who fired first, he said.
The injured man was transported to a hospital in unknown condition.
The LAPD’s Office of the Inspector General, which investigates police shootings, was en route to the scene of a “reported categorical use of force” in the department’s Southwest Area, according to a tweet.
The shooting occurred in a residential area on what Rogers described as a “busy street.”
