LOS ANGELES (AP) Los Angeles police fatally shot a man early Tuesday morning after he allegedly went on a violent rampage in the city’s downtown, shooting several people killing two of them, including a newlywed seemingly at random before leading police on an hours-long chase that ended in a standoff on a freeway overpass.
The suspect, only described as a man in his late 40s or early 50s, was pronounced dead on the overpass in Orange County, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The man had been in a white Jeep Cherokee and refused pleas from police and a family member to surrender, authorities said. He shot at police during the standoff and one officer returned fire, killing him. His death marks the second time LAPD officers have fatally shot a person in four days.
