Los Angeles police fatally shot a man wearing a bulletproof
vest after he rammed his vehicle, which was covered in religious statements,
into a patrol car on Sunset Boulevard, the New York Post reported.
Los Angeles police said in a statement Sunday that their
officers were responding to a call and were heading west on Sunset Boulevard
around 2:30 p.m. with their sirens on and patrol lights flashing at the time of
the incident.
According to the statement, the suspect's car "suddenly
pulled up in front of them and stopped" as officers approached the
intersection of Sunset and Fairfax Avenue. The suspect "then put his
vehicle in reverse and ran towards the police car."
The driver, wearing a bulletproof vest, got out of the
vehicle and approached the officers. According to the police, he said: “Three,
two, one…” and began to draw his right hand from his back. The man was shot by
at least one officer and was pronounced dead at the scene.
