Los Angeles police have arrested a suspect who earlier barricaded himself in a shop with about 40 people inside. | |
"We have successfully taken the suspect into custody without incident," the LAPD tweeted. | |
People were earlier seen running from the Trader Joe's supermarket. There was one fatality, police said. | |
The suspect earlier fired shots after police pursued his car. He crashed the car, running inside the shop. The chase began after he shot two women. | |
The suspect - who is believed to be 28 years old - gave himself up after about three hours of crisis negotiations with police officers, the LAPD said. | |
He asked that he put handcuffs on himself before leaving the shop. He had an arm injury. | |
A young woman inside or near Trader Joe's was shot and killed by the suspect, police said. She has not been identified. | |
Earlier, another woman was taken from the crashed car and taken to a local hospital. | |
She is believed to have been injured and forced into the vehicle after the gunman shot his grandmother. | |
