No one seems to know how to deescalate a situation anymore. One person always go home to their family, which means the other person is more than likely making an unplanned, one way trip to the morgue.
The shooting occurred about 7 p.m. at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue in the heart of Hollywood’s entertainment and tourism district, Los Angeles Police Officer Jane Kim told BuzzFeed News.
Police were responding to a call for an assault with a deadly weapon when they arrived and found a suspect armed with a knife, Kim said. The man survived the shooting and was take to a hospital, but later died.
Police did not provide information about the suspect’s name, age, or ethnicity.
Lisa Bregman happened to be driving through the intersection at the moment the shooting occurred. Bregman said she heard a series of gunshots, then looked up and saw a man lying on the ground.
“It was more than one or two,” Bergman said of the number of gunshots. “Like maybe three or four.”
Bregman took a photo of the scene while police still had their guns drawn.
Looks to me like this poor fellow was white-ish. Police just want to “eliminate” the instigator, not go the extra actions required to “deescalate” these days….and they don’t care WHO.
