An armed man holding a two-year-old toddler has died after he was shot in a standoff with sheriff\u2019s deputies Thursday in Paramount.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department said deputies from its Lakewood station responded to a call regarding a man possibly armed with a gun. They arrived at the location on the 8000 block of Alhambra Avenue, where they encountered a man with a gun in one hand and the toddler in the other.<\/p>\n
The department said deputies spent 25 minutes attempting to negotiate with the man to release the toddler and relinquish the firearm.<\/p>\n
The man refused to comply and pointed the handgun at deputies. The deputies responded with gunfire, striking the man. His identity has not been released. <\/p>\n
Deputies safely removed the toddler from the scene. The boy, who was the man\u2019s son, according to investigators, was not harmed. <\/p>\n
The man received medical aid at the scene. The Los Angeles County Fire Department transported him to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An armed man holding a two-year-old toddler has died after he was shot in a standoff with sheriff\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":430148,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[199878,7611,1582,276,3040,7726,7614,2961,199879,224,29417,2444,5337,2089,199880,15329,9260,12498,17348,67191],"class_list":{"0":"post-430147","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-alhambra-avenue","9":"tag-block","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-california","12":"tag-department","13":"tag-deputy","14":"tag-gun","15":"tag-la","16":"tag-lakewood-station","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-county-sheriff","19":"tag-los-angeles-times","20":"tag-losangeles","21":"tag-man","22":"tag-medical-aid","23":"tag-paramount","24":"tag-scene","25":"tag-sheriff","26":"tag-standoff","27":"tag-toddler"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115676125902191256","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430147","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=430147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430147\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
