CALIFORNIA – (Scroll Down For Video \/ New Release via LAPD)<\/em> – Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Force Investigation Division is investigating an Off-Duty Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) that occurred in Rampart Division.<\/p>\n

On March 19, 2021 around 3:40\u200b p.m., a Rampart Area sergeant was flagged down by a community member due to a suspect being armed with a hammer and what was believed to be a hatchet.<\/p>\n

Additional officers met with the sergeant, formulated a plan, and attempted to detain the suspect. Officers used less lethal devices, but they were not effective. The suspect threw a hammer and then a metal object resembling a pick axe at the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. The suspect was struck by gunfire. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. During the investigation a hammer and rear-mounted bicycle kick stand were recovered at scene.<\/p>\n
