A Los Angeles County sheriff's official says someone in a crowd that rushed in after a deputy fatally shot a teenager may have taken a gun from the suspect.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Capt. Chris Bergner says the incident occurred when deputies responded Sunday night to a 911 call reporting someone came out into a street and pointed a gun at the caller as he drove by.
Bergner says deputies saw a person who matched the description given by the caller and that he had a weapon.
Bergner says the deputies ordered the suspect to not move but he fled into an apartment complex courtyard and then turned toward the deputies. One deputy fired.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Bergner says 30 to 40 people flooded the courtyard, trying to get to the suspect or the deputies, who called for backup.
