A Black man was shot and wounded after he tried to walk into a Los Angeles police station in Pico-Union with what appeared to be a handgun Tuesday, in the department’s sixth shooting since last Tuesday, officials said.

Authorities have not described what prompted the use of lethal force at the department’s Olympic Division station, at 1130 Vermont Ave., around 2:20 p.m.

Sgt. Bruce Borihanh said an officer who spoke with the man as he tried to enter noticed he was armed. The officer summoned reinforcements, and at least one officer opened fire.

But LAPD Chief Michel Moore told the Associated Press that officials were still working to determine whether the semi-automatic firearm recovered at the scene was real or a replica.

The man was struck and transported to a hospital. He underwent surgery and was later listed in critical condition, the department said in a tweet.

LAPD was not immediately releasing any information on how many shots were fired, or how many times the man was struck.

The man shot was described only as being Black and in his 30s.

The investigation remained active late Tuesday afternoon.
