Hostage situation in LA ends with a clean shot

On July 26, 2021, LAPD Pacific Patrol Division officers responded to a radio call of a “hot prowl burglary” at an apartment in the 3700 block of Barry Avenue. Upon their arrival, officers heard yelling and saw the suspect, later identified as 58-year-old Herman Gonzalez, through the broken front window of the apartment.

Gonzalez was in the front living room, armed with a large kitchen knife. Gonzalez was holding the knife against an elderly woman, shielding himself behind her, as they walked toward the front door of the apartment. The officers gave Gonzalez multiple commands to drop the knife; however, he refused to comply; resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting.

Gonzalez was struck by the gunfire and fell to the floor. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the scene and pronounced Gonzalez deceased.

You dumb pieces of shits saying she should thank him. Can you not hear/see the subtitles she said "he wants to kill himself" clearly she knew this guy and also knew he wanted to suicide by cop. 0 compassion and room temp iq.

I dunno, putting your mom (or anyone else) in that kind of danger just because you can't do it yourself is a pretty shitty thing to do. Can't feel much compassion for someone like that.

What a foolish old lady. They weren’t even related. She should be thanking them for doing society a favor.

Sheesh was hoping it wasn’t, since it wasn’t in the text, but according to an article I read it was her son. Must have been drunk/high to do that to his own mom.
