LA police shoot, kill man in fight caught on video

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police say three officers fired on and killed a man on the city’s Skid Row because of a struggle over one of the officers’ guns.

Police say graphic video of the incident that was shot by a bystander and widely circulated on social media a few hours after the incident Sunday will be used in their investigation.

Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the three police officers including a sergeant shot the man as they struggled on the ground for control of one of the police officer’s weapons, after a stun gun proved ineffective. They were answering a report of a robbery.
