LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A Los Angeles Police Department officer driving on the southbound Harbor (110) Freeway Wednesday reported coming under fire in the South Los Angeles area, but no injuries were reported and a suspect was taken into custody.
The officer was in an express lane of the freeway when one or more shots were possibly fired at the vehicle about 12:10 p.m., police said. An LAPD spokesman said the officer did not return fire.
There was no immediate information about the motive of the shooting. According to reports from the scene, the officer may have been following a weapons suspect on the freeway when the shooting occurred, after which the suspect vehicle exited the freeway and came to a stop.
A suspect from the vehicle was taken into custody, police said.
As the investigation continued, authorities closed all southbound lanes of the 110 Freeway between Exposition Boulevard and Imperial Highway, essentially halting all traffic south of the Santa Monica (10) Freeway as police searched for possible bullet casings or other evidence on the roadway. Ramps from the 10 Freeway to the southbound 110 were also closed.
The freeway and ramps were reopened shortly after 2 p.m.
