Police Investigating Officer-Involved Shooting In Redondo Beach
REDONDO BEACH (CBSLA) — At least one person was shot in Redondo Beach on Tuesday night at around 9 p.m.
The incident occurred at an ocean front single family home on the Esplanade.
A man was placed in an ambulance and taken to a local hospital. That man was later confirmed as the person who had a weapon and was shot by officers.
The call came in at about 9:18 p.m. of shots being fired. The initial call was reportedly of a domestic disturbance.
Officers on the scene said that an officer was not shot so the officer did the shooting.
"We received several 911 calls regarding a domestic violence. Came out as like a family fight for officers to respond to. Officers did respond to this location based on a number of the 911 calls and again when they arrived on scene they did encounter a subject who was armed and an officer-involved shooting did occur," said Lt. Shawn Freeman, Redondo Beach Police Department.
Neighbors said they heard the gunfire and didn't believe it was gunfire at first.
There was a police investigation taking place at 1002 Esplanade in the alley between Avenue B and Avenue C.
Redondo Beach is turning over the investigation to the LA County Sheriff's Department.
The condition of the man who was shot was unknown as of late Tuesday night.
