Suspect shot, killed by LA County deputy after allegedly pulling gun

A male suspect was shot and killed by a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy on Thursday night after allegedly pulling a gun on law enforcement, according to a statement from the Sheriff's Department.

The man was shot at approximately 10:49 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the statement. A gun was recovered by authorities.

Downey Police responded to a call around 1 p.m. Thursday, with the caller telling police that the man was armed with a knife and gun and threatening to kill family members, according to the statement. As Downy officers arrived, the man was leaving on his motorcycle.

The man refused to stop, leading to a chase on northbound Paramount Boulevard to the southbound 5 freeway, but he drove out of view, according to the statement.

Officers observed the man's home in Hacienda Heights in an unmarked vehicle and spotted him walking down the street, according to the statement. When they attempted to stop him, he was uncooperative and warned officers he had a gun.

Downey officers requested assistance from deputies at the Industry Station, according to the statement. They tried to speak to the man, but he began to reach for his gun. Deputies used nonlethal weapons, but when the man armed himself with his gun, a deputy-involved shooting took place.

No deputies were injured.
