The Los Angeles Police Department Monday released some details of its investigation into an officer shooting, which injured a man in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police said when officers were conducting patrol inside a liquor store at the corner of 9th Avenue and West Jefferson Boulevard at around 1:10 a.m. Sunday, they spotted a man who appeared to be concealing a firearm.<\/p>\n
When the officers tried to speak with the man, who later was identified as 33- year-old Malik Salaah, the suspect removed a gun from his waistband and fired multiple rounds at the officers inside the store and as he was exiting the business, the LAPD said.<\/p>\n
To look for Salaah, who ran away on foot, police set up a perimeter and found him within minutes. The LAPD added an unloaded 9mm pistol, at slide lock with a seated high-capacity magazine, was found at the scene and submitted as evidence in the case.<\/p>\n
During the process of taking him into custody, he was shot by bullets fired by officers. Police said they rendered aid until first responders from the LA Fire Department arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Salaah, who was said to be in stable condition after being taken to a hospital, was absentee-booked for the attempted murder of a peace officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No other officers or bystanders were injured during the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Police Department Monday released some details of its investigation into an officer shooting, which injured…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":103068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,4530,224,5337,7617],"class_list":{"0":"post-192423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-lapd","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-losangeles","14":"tag-south-la"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115131120670507188","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
