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.
