A man suspected in a string of crimes, including taking someone hostage and firing a gun at several people, was fatally shot by police on Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a series of posts on Twitter.
The events began in downtown Los Angeles around 4 p.m., when officers responded to "calls of a man armed with a gun committing several crimes in the area of 8th and Broadway," the LAPD said.
The suspect, who was not named, had held a gun to another man's face and pulled the trigger, but it did not fire, police said.
