CHATSWORTH — Fire damaged a home Friday in Chatsworth, where an armed person was reported to be at the scene, prompting a shooting by Los Angeles police.
Fire crews and the Los Angeles Police Department responded to the home on the 9600 block of Laramie Avenue shortly before 2 p.m. Friday, but while the residence was burning, fire crews had to maintain their distance as police investigated a report of shots being fired.
A short time later, police took a person into custody, and firefighters were able to move into the blaze, knocking it down in about 20 minutes, fire officials said.
Police later confirmed that officers were involved in a shooting at the location.
Fire officials said one person was taken to a hospital in unknown condition with unspecified injuries, but it was unclear if that person was the suspect involved in the shooting with police.
KTLA5 reported the armed suspect was a woman who may have intentionally set the home on fire.
