Update: El Segundo shooting started with 'business dispute'; Cops to be OK
Here's what the Sheriff's Department put out in a press release. Not too many more details......
"Sheriff’s homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the officer-involved shooting which occurred in the 800 block of South Nash Steet in El Segundo.
Detectives have learned that the suspect was involved in a business dispute with theater employees. Another employee contacted two on-duty El Segundo police officers that were at the theater.
The officers made contact with the suspect and during a contact search he produced a handgun and began shooting. The officers were both struck by gunfire, but were able to return fire striking the suspect.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Both officers were transported to a local hospital. One officer was shot in the jaw and is listed in critical condition, but is expected to make a full recovery. The other officer was shot in the upper torso and his injury is non-life threatening.
The suspect’s identify will be determined by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. It was determined no other suspects were involved in this incident.”
The release had no information about a bystander being wounded, but we have that from fire officials talking about a third patient. We also don't know what the "business dispute" was.
My colleague Josh Grossberg is taking over. He was out at the theaters today and will have full coverage for tomorrow's Daily Breeze and dailybreeze.com.
