Reports say the California man flogged down the officers. Four shots then rang out from the officers, at least one of those shots apparently striking the man in his head.
“The officers stopped to investigate and see what was needed,” LAPD spokesman Lt John Jenal told NBC Los Angeles. “This person then extended their arm, which was wrapped in a towel.”
The officers, who say they believe he had a gun in his hand, told him to drop his weapon, then, according to onlookers, fired four shots. At least one of the round appears to have struck the suspect in the head, as evidenced by this video, which depicts the officers rolling him over to handcuff him after he has collapsed. No officers were shot.
Then man is now hospitalized in critical condition.
