A man died after an officer-involved shooting in North Hollywood on Sunday morning.

[Updated at 10:50 a.m.: Sgt. Aaron Ponce said the suspect had pointed a rifle at the officers and two officers fired on him. Officers initially responded to a report of a man firing shots in the air at about 4:51 a.m. The incident is being investigated by LAPD’s force investigations division and the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.]
The man, who was not identified, was transported to Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Martinez said.
