Suicide-by-cop possible in Sun Valley shooting

A man fatally shot by officers in Sun Valley may have been trying to commit suicide by cop, family members said.

Los Angeles police officers responded to a report of someone shooting in the air about 5 a.m. Sunday and confronted Julio Sandoval, 47, near Vineland Avenue and Valerio Street, authorities said.

Sandoval reportedly pointed a rifle at the officers, who fired on him. He died at Northridge Hospital Medical Center. No officers were hurt.
