Two officers
responded around 9:30 a.m. to reports of a woman behaving
erratically and holding a blade, police said.
The woman, who police said was about 30, was fatally shot at the
intersection of East 22nd and South San Pedro Streets, said
Sergeant Frank Preciado of the Los Angeles Police Department.
During the incident, both officers fired their weapons, Preciado
said. The woman was taken to the hospital, where she was
pronounced dead, police said.
Police did not release the name of the woman or identify the two
officers. They also did not disclose any details about the
woman's injuries.
The details of the shooting were under investigation, Preciado
said.
Both officers were wearing body cameras, and additional security
video was available for review by investigators, Preciado said.
