Woman Arrested In Officer-Involved Shooting In Downtown LA

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - A woman was arrested Friday afternoon following a shooting involving an LAPD officer in downtown Los Angeles, police said.

The officer discharged a firearm around 2:30 p.m. near the area of 11th and Main streets, according to LAPD Officer Drake Madison.

SKY2 footage showed a shattered storefront window and an officer standing over a handgun on the sidewalk. It's not clear whether it belonged to the female suspect.

Lt. Chris Ramirez told CBSLA's Joy Benedict officers in the area were flagged down for a robbery in progress. Officers chased down the female suspect, at which point the officer-involved shooting occurred.

No one was hit by gunfire and no officers were injured, police said.
