A possibly suicidal man who was armed with a knife was killed Thursday in an officer-involved shooting in Wilmington.
The unidentified man died at the scene of the shooting, which occurred about 9:30 a.m. in the 1500 block of Bayview Avenue, said Los Angeles police Officer Jack Richter. No officers were hurt.
Officers went to the scene after someone called police to report an attempted suicide at the location, LAPD Detective Meghan Aguilar told Fox11.
“When they responded, they did encounter the subject of that radio call, who was, indeed, armed with a knife,” Aguilar said. “An officer- involved shooting occurred, and (the) Los Angeles Fire Department responded and pronounced that person dead at scene.”
Aguilar said the call to police about the attempted suicide was made by someone whose relationship with the fatally wounded man, if any, was unknown.
