He&#8217;s already on the ground,&#8221; Anthony Blackburn told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2015\/03\/02\/us\/los-angeles-police-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"witness-lapd-shooting-homeless-suspect-didnt-shoot-man-leg\" title=\"Witness of LAPD Shooting Homeless Suspect: 'Why didn't they shoot the man in the leg?'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After responding to a robbery call near the Union Rescue Mission in L.A.&#8217;s dilapidated Skid Row neighborhood, officers from the LAPD&#8217;s Central Division and Safer Cities Initiative confronted the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith told the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/local\/lanow\/la-me-ln-police-fatally-shoot-homeless-man-20150301-story.html#page=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"witness-lapd-shooting-homeless-suspect-didnt-shoot-man-leg\" title=\"Witness of LAPD Shooting Homeless Suspect: 'Why didn't they shoot the man in the leg?'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> L.A. Times <\/a>that after making contact with the suspect, he &#8220;began fighting and physically resisting the officers.&#8221; Attempts to subdue the suspect with a Taser where &#8220;ineffective,&#8221; according to Smith.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At some point in there, a struggle over one of the officer&#8217;s weapons occurred,&#8221; Smith said. &#8220;At that point an officer-involved shooting happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In watching the video, it appears there were five shots fired. Though, that has yet to be confirmed. Smith did however clarify that two officers and a sergeant discharged their weapons.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>As to the question of whether the suspect was armed, Smith told CNN, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what they found on this individual. Obviously he didn&#8217;t have a firearm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Horne, 29, told the L.A. Times that Africa was fighting with someone over his tent when police arrived. Horne said that Africa refused to leave the tent when officers instructed him to, which precipitated the altercation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s sad,\u201d Horne said. \u201cThere&#8217;s no justification to take somebody&#8217;s life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police said the will be conducting a thorough investigation, examining all available evidence, especially the video footage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course we&#8217;re aware of the video,&#8221; said Smith. &#8220;Any video that shows someone losing their life in an altercation with police is going to be disturbing. It&#8217;s disturbing for police officers to watch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always tragic when there&#8217;s a loss of life in one of these situations,&#8221; Smith continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s not an incident taken lightly by any police officer. But we are committed to everyone involved and to the public to conduct a thorough and complete investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAPD shot and killed an unarmed homeless man Sunday raising questions as to whether the use of deadly force was justified. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":34102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,261,216],"tags":[132],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-34101","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-police-state","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"tag-buzz"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Witness of LAPD Shooting Homeless Suspect: &#039;Why didn&#039;t they shoot the man in the leg?&#039;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"LAPD shot and killed an unarmed homeless man Sunday raising questions as to whether the use of deadly force was justified.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/witness-lapd-shooting-homeless-suspect-didnt-shoot-man-leg\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Witness of LAPD Shooting Homeless Suspect: &#039;Why didn&#039;t they shoot the man in the leg?&#039;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LAPD shot and killed an unarmed homeless man Sunday raising questions as to whether the use of deadly force was justified.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/witness-lapd-shooting-homeless-suspect-didnt-shoot-man-leg\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-03-02T19:40:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T13:48:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/LAPD.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
