A deputy shot and fatally wounded a gun-wielding man in the parking lot of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Santa Clarita Valley Station on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
The shooting took place about 2:30 p.m. in a secured parking used to store department vehicles at the west side of the station, 23740 Magic Mountain Pkwy, according to Lt. Derrick Alfred of the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.
Deputies had just gotten into their vehicles to leave the station when the suspect approached, the lieutenant said.
“Suddenly, a man appeared, who was walking on foot,” he said. “He had a hg in his hand.”
Deputies exited their cars and “ordered him numerous times to drop the firearm,” Alfred said. “The suspect refused, and at some point, a deputy-involved shooting occurred.”
One deputy fired two shots, officials said. Paramedics took the wounded suspect to a hospital, where he was soon pronounced dead.
His identity was not yet released pending positive identification and notification of family by coroner’s officials.
Anyone with information can reach the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
