Los Angeles police shoot, critically injure 15-year-old who allegedly opened fire on officers
A 15-year-old boy is in critical condition after police shot him during a gun fight in Los Angeles on Thursday, authorities confirmed.
The incident took place at about 6:40 p.m. in the area of Hooper Avenue and 92nd Street. Officers on patrol spotted a male suspect spray painting a wall and stopped their vehicle to investigate.
When the officers stopped, a second suspect appeared and produced a handgun. Police said that suspect, a 15-year-old boy, then opened fire on the officers.
The officers then exited their vehicle and returned fire at the teen. He was struck, but managed to get inside an awaiting vehicle being driven by a man, along with the vandalizing suspect, and leave the scene.
That led to a pursuit, which eventually ended in Compton, where the vehicle was stopped.
All three suspects were arrested. The driver was identified as 20-year-old Kevin Diaz. The other two suspects, including the boy who was shot, are both 15, and their identities were not revealed.
A loaded .45 caliber handgun and a shotgun shell casing were found in the vehicle.
The wounded boy was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition, police said. The other two were not injured and were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on a police officer.
No officers were injured. No additional details were immediately made available.
