Police say one person was killed and a security guard injured after a shootout in South LA on Sunday morning.
An armed guard was attempting to remove a man from a location near Washington Boulevard and Los Angeles Street around 7 a.m. when an argument broke out, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
The man pulled out a shotgun and fired at the guard. A second guard returned fire, an LAPD spokesman said.
The shooter died on the spot, police said. The injured guard was taken to a hospital where he was admitted in stable condition. KTLA reported that the security guard was hit in the leg.
A woman was detained at the scene, but there was no immediate information about her connection to the incident, an LAPD spokesman said.
