UPDATE: (4:45 P.M.) The male suspect had been armed at the time of the shooting, according to LASD Homicide Lt. Derrick Alfred. The suspect has died as a result of his injuries.

The shooting occurred when deputies exiting the station’s secured parking lot encountered a man armed with a handgun in the public area of the parking lot shared by the station, local library, and courthouse, said Lt. Alfred.

The deputies attempted to detain the man and ordered him to lower his gun but the suspect refused to lower the weapon and a deputy-involved shooting occurred, Alfred said.

The man was in his late 30s according to Alfred,  but the deceased man was not immediately identified.
