A woman is in the hospital Tuesday after she was shot during a confrontation with Los Angeles Police Department officers in Baldwin Hills.
Officers were called at 11:06 p.m. Monday to the 3900 block of Ursula Street, between Pinafore and August streets, regarding a disturbance call. When they arrived, the woman confronted them, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
According to the LAPD, ”the suspect was holding a large metal grate over her head and advanced toward officers. An officer deployed a Taser, but it was ineffective and an officer-involved shooting occurred.”
The woman, who police said was not hit by gunfire from the officers, was taken to a hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics and she was reported to be in stable condition.
No officers were injured in the shooting, police said.
