A Los Angeles police officer shot and killed a man during a confrontation in the city's Skid Row area Sunday, in an incident that was caught on video.
Police said officers were responding to a report of a robbery, and when they confronted the suspect, there was an altercation.
"The preliminary investigation revealed that during that altercation, at least one less than lethal device, a Taser, was deployed. However, at this time, we still do not know if that Taser did strike the suspect," LAPD Sgt. Barry Montgomery said.
"After that, the struggle continued and an officer-involved shooting occurred," he said.
A video that was posted to Facebook records the struggle, and then the moment when an officer shot the man.
Police have not released the name of the suspect, but said he was taken to a hospital after the shooting, and he was pronounced dead there.
