An off-duty Los Angeles police officer was hospitalized following a “gun battle” that erupted when he interrupted a thief stealing his police gear from his personal car on Wednesday.
Based on the preliminary investigation, Moore said police believe the officer, who he didn’t immediately name, and a female companion were walking down from the officer’s apartment on Vesper Avenue in the Van Nuys neighborhood to his car in the building’s subterranean garage at about 2:25 p.m. when they realized a Hispanic male was sitting in the car. The officer’s duty bag with his police gear was stored inside the vehicle. And the man was wearing the officer’s bulletproof vest.More Related News
