A 25-year-old man suffered a graze wound Monday morning when he was held up at gunpoint by a man he invited into his downtown Los Angeles apartment.
The shooting occurred at 1:45 a.m. at 752 S. Main St., according to a desk officer at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Operations Center.
The victim agreed to go back to his apartment with a 30-year-old man, the officer said.
When they were inside the apartment, the suspect produced a handgun and demanded property, she said.
The victim grabbed the handgun and a shot was fired during the struggle, grazing the victim, the officer said.
The suspect ran out followed by the victim, she said.
Officers responding to a call about the gunshot saw the two men and arrested the suspect, she said. The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics.
