Los Angeles Police Department officials told CBS Los Angeles that plain clothes officers were pursuing a robbery suspect in the 15600 block of Celtic Street when the person barricaded themselves inside of the home.
A SWAT team was called to the location, which arrived in several BearCats. SkyCal was overhead when they shot gas through one window of the home.
When officers finally entered the property hours later, the suspect was found dead. They have not yet been identified and a cause of death has not been revealed.
