LAPD searches for suspect who shot at officers in East Hollywood

LAPD incident
Los Angeles police Thursday night were searching for a suspect who shot at plainclothes narcotics officers in East Hollywood.

No injuries were reported in the shooting, which occurred about 7:25 p.m. near Oakwood Avenue and North Heliotrope Drive, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

The two officers saw two males tagging a wall when one of them fired several rounds at the officers, said LAPD Officer Karen Rayner. The two males took off running.

Police saturated the area as a helicopter circled overhead while officers looked for the suspects. No other details were immediately available.
