Authorities have confirmed that a man in his 30s, who had initially been shot by Los Angeles police, has been apprehended after barricading himself for several hours in a building in Koreatown. The incident unfolded on Saturday evening when officers received reports of an armed man in the vicinity of Kenmore Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard.
Upon their arrival, the officers attempted to establish communication with the suspect. However, at some point during the encounter, one of the officers resorted to using their firearm, injuring the suspect. According to the LAPD’s Twitter account, “The suspect ran from the officers and a second (police shooting) occurred.” Subsequently, he barricaded himself behind the stairwell of a building at the intersection of 7th Street and Vermont Avenue.
The situation escalated and a SWAT team was called in to resolve the standoff. Efforts were made to coax the suspect out from behind the stairwell, including utilizing a remote-controlled tracked vehicle to assess his condition and retrieve his firearms. Unfortunately, the vehicle’s arms were unable to retrieve the weapons.
Undeterred, the SWAT officers brought in another type of controlled vehicle, which successfully removed the man’s firearms. This development enabled the officers to approach him and provide the necessary medical attention. Eventually, the suspect was taken into custody shortly before 3 a.m. and was later transported to a hospital in stable condition.
Fortunately, neither officers nor bystanders sustained any injuries during the incident. The case remains under investigation as authorities seek to uncover further details and motives behind the individual’s actions.
