The deputies had been sent to the intersection of Downey Avenue and Artesia Boulevard to handle the street racing call just after midnight when they were approached by someone who said they had been stabbed by a person with a garden claw, a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated.
The victim then pointed to a man in his 30s and identified him as the suspect.
The unidentified suspect fled southbound on Downey Avenue when deputies attempted to detain him.
The suspect then turned and advanced on the deputies while swinging the garden claw, which had spikes on the end of it, the Sheriff’s Department stated. The claw was said to be about 3 feet long.
“A deputy-involved shooting occurred” at that point, the release stated.

East Coast guy here: weren’t the “Bell” cities plus Lakewood bedroom communities for McDonnell Douglas workers at one point? Makes sense as to why they fell from favorability after MD went bye bye.
Not only MD but also GM in South Gate, Ford in Pico Rivera, North American in Downey, the Long Beach shipyards and Apple facility in Garden Grove. They were gone by the 1990s.
“You have my gratitude”
