A man was fatally shot by police officers responding to a report of a woman screaming at an apartment building in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Officers arrived at the building in the 600 block of Wall Street around 6:50 p.m., according to Christopher No with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Division.
When officers entered the building, they could heard a woman’s screams coming from one of the apartment units, LAPD Detective Meghan Aguilar said.
“Officers then forced entry and saw a male stabbing a female,” Aguilar said.
That was when the man was shot, according to Aguilar.
He was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.
The woman was also transported to a hospital in serious condition.
No officers were injured.
