Northbound lanes of the 405 Freeway in Hawthorne were closed Thursday evening after a California Highway Patrol officer shot a man while responding to a fire at a homeless encampment, authorities said.

The incident unfolded just before 8 p.m. when the officer received a call reporting a fire near the on-ramp to the 405 at Rosecrans Avenue.

When the officer arrived, they encountered a person who became uncooperative and began throwing bricks at them, a CHP spokesperson said.

That’s when the officer opened fire, striking the man, authorities said. He suffered non-life-threatening wounds.

Sky5 images show traffic was backed up for over a mile as officers shut down northbound lanes to investigate.

No CHP officers were injured during the incident.
