A suspect was shot dead following a stabbing spree and an altercation with police at a Jack in the Box in Hollywood, California.
Four people suffered stab and gunshot wounds. The suspect is dead and two victims are critically injured, while one is in stable condition, according to Los Angeles police.
Via KTLA:
The call came into the Los Angeles Fire Department at 1:58 P.M. from the 1400 block of North Cahuenga Boulevard, spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said. She initially said four people had a mix of gunshot wounds and stab wounds; with two of those hospitalized had stab wounds.
Los Angeles Police Department Officer Liliana Preciado said officers were responding to a report of a stabbing at Sunset and Cahuenga boulevards, but she had no details on the investigation. She confirmed an officer-involved shooting took place, but also had no information on that.
Stewart could not confirm how the third victim was injured, nor what likely killed the person who died.
The video below, which is graphic, was taken by a witness inside a Jack in the Box. The footage appears to show two victims with bloody wounds. One of the victims was seated in a chair and another was on the floor with an officer kneeling over his back comforting him.
