A homeless man was shot by Los Angeles police Sunday around 11:30 a.m. in Skid Row after officers responded to an altercation in the area.
In a video uploaded to Facebook, officers can be seen with two people. Two officers pull one person away. The other officers, who are farther from the camera, surround a man.
“Drop the gun,” officers shout several times with their own guns drawn. About five shots can be heard on the video.
Witnesses believed the man had been killed by police, but CBS reported he was taken to a hospital by paramedics. The Los Angeles Times later reported he was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after he arrived.
BuzzFeed News has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for more information.
