"Authorities say officers responded to a robbery call around noon Sunday in the 500 block of San Pedro Street. When the officers came in contact with the suspect, an altercation occurred.
"The preliminary investigation revealed that during that altercation, at least one less than lethal device, a Taser, was deployed. However, at this time, we still do not know if that Taser did strike the suspect," said LAPD Sgt. Barry Montgomery.
Officers continued to struggle with the suspect, and then an officer-involved shooting happened. In the amateur video, someone yells "drop the gun" just before shots were fired."
