LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police have fatally shot a man with a knife. The man’s death on Sunday marks the 18th person shot and killed by Los Angeles police officers in 2021.
Sunday’s shooting comes just days after an LAPD officer fatally shot a 14-year-old girl Thursday when officers fired on an assault suspect and a bullet went through the wall and struck the girl as she was in a clothing store dressing room.
Officers arrived in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles at about 6 p.m. Sunday following a request for backup from the Los Angeles Fire Department for the man with the knife.
