The details were not available, although the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed there was a shooting involving at least one officer.
According to police, officers responded to the area of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Saticoy Street Thursday afternoon in response to a suspect in an assault with a deadly weapon.
Video from the scene showed a man carrying a small hatchet as he interacted with police and walked toward officers. The video shows officers appearing to fire less-than-lethal rounds at the man, to no avail, eventually leading to the shooting.
It was unclear if any officers were injured.
Laurel Canyon was closed in both directions during the afternoon rush hour as a large number of police officers gathered at the scene.
