A man suspected of committing or attempting to commit an armed robbery at a nearby 7-Eleven store was shot and killed by at least one Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy in West Hollywood, the Sheriff’s Information Bureau said Sunday.

The shooting occurred about 5:40 p.m. Saturday in the 1100 hundred block of Gardner Street, near Santa Monica Boulevard, officials said.

A person nearby flagged deputies and when they found the suspect, they attempted to detain him, investigators said.

But the suspect produced a knife and shortly afterward, at least one deputy opened fire — striking the man, according to the department.

The suspect was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.

No deputies were injured, according to Deputy Veronica Fantom.

Investigators said a knife was recovered at the scene.
