Body cam footage from the Los Angeles Police Department shows an officer-involved-shooting in which responding police officers came face-to-face with the armed suspects as they arrived on the scene.
From the report: On July 14, 2022, around 6:50 p.m., Wilshire Division police officers were working patrol driving in the area of Melrose and Fairfax Avenue. While monitoring the area, a citizen flagged down the officers and informed them there was a robbery in progress inside of a clothing business west of their location. The officers exited their police vehicle and approached the location to investigate. As the officers proceeded to the front of the business, the suspects exited the location armed with handguns. Officers directed the suspects to stop and drop their weapons. One of the suspects holding a firearm, turned toward one of the officers, resulting in an OIS.
The suspects entered a black SUV and drove away from the location westbound on Melrose Avenue. The officers entered their police vehicle and chased after the suspects. The officers searched the area and were unable to locate the suspects.
