A suspect was fatally shot by Los Angeles police in downtown during a confrontation that followed a brief vehicle and foot pursuit, authorities said.
The shooting occurred shortly before 1 a.m. near a freeway overpass in the area of 16th Street and Maple Avenue, just north of the 10 Freeway, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said.
