Written by City News Service - A deputy shot and killed a 42-year-old man who bit him
and tried to grab his gun during a struggle following a traffic stop in Compton
this morning, authorities said.
The shooting happened around 12:25 a.m. in the 1300 block of Long Beach
Boulevard near Pauline Street, said Deputy Peter Gomez of the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, Gomez said. His body was
visible lying on the south side of the road, according to a news photographer.
The deputy, who fired three shots at the suspect, was taken to hospital,
where he was treated for a minor injury and released, Lt. Eddie Hernandez of
the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau told reporters at the scene.
Sheriff's Homicide Bureau detectives were sent to investigate the
shooting, which will also be investigated by the Los Angeles County District
Attorney's Office and the county Office of Independent Review, as is standard
in such cases.
A witness reported that the suspect was driving erratically and was
possibly intoxicated, prompting the traffic stop, according to a broadcast
report. LOUDLABS NEWS
