An armed man and the Los Angeles Police Department engaged in a standoff after an event rocked Eagle Rock on Friday afternoon. The man was hospitalized, and his dog confronted a police K9 unit.
The incident began, according to NBC Los Angeles, when LAPD received a report at approximately 1:40 p.m. regarding a guy on the 5000 block of N La Roda Avenue who was armed and suffering from suicidal thoughts. The man shot at the policemen, who retaliated, and the situation descended into shooting when the police arrived.
After the confrontation, the suspect retreated into a house, which led to another standoff and the subsequent deployment of a SWAT team, according to CBS Los Angeles. After a long wait, at approximately 3 p.m., the person turned himself in to the police.
As a police K9 confronted the injured man who was unwilling to surrender, the suspect’s French bulldog stepped in and broke up the secondary altercation, according to FOX 11. Before the person was eventually taken into custody, an officer broke up the animal fight by kicking the smaller dog.
According to CBS Los Angeles, the man was taken to the hospital by the Los Angeles Fire Department in a stable condition. The man’s firearm was eventually found by investigators and recorded as evidence. Neither officers nor onlookers were hurt in the incident.
