Man fatally shot by police in Pomona ‘produced a firearm’: LASD
An investigation is underway after police shot and killed a man they say “produced a firearm” in Los Angeles County Tuesday night.
The incident began around midnight with a report of a man with a gun in the 900 block of Holt Avenue in the city of Pomona.
Arriving officers from the Pomona Police Department located and attempted to detain the suspect but he fled from them on foot, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which is assisting in the investigation, stated in a news release.
Additional units responded and helped officers follow the suspect to the 400 block of Hamilton Boulevard around 12:07 a.m. Wednesday.
“The suspect produced a firearm and an officer-involved shooting occurred,” the Sheriff’s Department stated in the news release.
The unidentified suspect was transported via ambulance to Pomona Valley Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
No officers were injured in the incident and a firearm was recovered at the scene, law enforcement said.
Video from the scene showed a four-door sedan stopped near a curb with multiple evidence markers around it.
It was unclear if the vehicle played any role in the incident.
