When they arrived, the man moved from the backyard and onto the roof of a home, the Sheriff's Department said in a release, noting that the man continued to ignore orders to surrender. Then, "a Sheriff's Department helicopter arrived on scene and reported that the suspect was armed with a shotgun," authorities said in a statement. "They reported that the suspect was firing the weapon in their direction." Two deputies on the ground then shot and killed the man, the department said. ________©2024 Los Angeles Times.
