The man \u2013 later identified by LAPD as Christopher Hall \u2013 took off from the business.<\/p>\n<p data-v-bd34935e=\"\">Fast-forward to July 2025, LAPD released body camera footage showing the moments officers spotted Hall after he ran away from the donut shop.<\/p>\n<p data-v-bd34935e=\"\">In the video, LAPD said officers had ordered Hall to drop the weapon he was holding. Hall didn&#8217;t, so one of the officers opened fire \u2013 and missed.<\/p>\n<p data-v-bd34935e=\"\">Hall was eventually placed in custody after officers used a Taser to stop him.<\/p>\n<p data-v-bd34935e=\"\">LAPD recovered an airsoft gun and a knife from the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"group-source-paragraph\" data-v-4fbf7207=\"\"><b data-v-4fbf7207=\"\">The Source:<\/b> This report used information provided by the Los Angeles Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/tag\/us\/ca\/los-angeles-county\/los-angeles\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-bd34935e=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/tag\/us\/ca\/los-angeles-county\/la-los-angeles-county\/koreatown\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-bd34935e=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Koreatown<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/tag\/us\/ca\/los-angeles-county\/la-los-angeles-county\/pico-union\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-bd34935e=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pico-Union<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/tag\/crime-publicsafety\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-bd34935e=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crime and Public Safety<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES &#8211; A man, seen in a bikini, tried to rob a donut shop in Los Angeles.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":64421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,6082,31956,2961,26074,224,6080,5337,50,45557,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-64420","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-crime-publicsafety","11":"tag-koreatown","12":"tag-la","13":"tag-la-los-angeles-county","14":"tag-los-angeles","15":"tag-los-angeles-county","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-pico-union","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114850694904746580","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64420","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=64420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
