Knife-Wielding Female Suspect Fatally Shot By Officers In Torrance

TORRANCE (CBSLA) — Authorities say one person has died following an officer-involved shooting in Torrance.

Torrance police say officers responded to the 18200 block of Yukon just before 11 a.m. Sunday following a report of a domestic violence incident.

When they arrived, police were advised that there was a suspect who was "out of control" who was breaking items inside the home, and who was refusing to put a knife down.

Shortly after, an officer-involved shooting occurred.

Officers performed lifesaving measures and the suspect was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Family and neighbors mourned after learning about what happened.

"So it seemed like a nice family and it really is just shocking" said neighbor Mike Mudallal. "We were heartbroken."

There was a young child inside the home at the time of the incident, but police said they were not injured.

An investigation is ongoing.
