Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said an officer is believed to be in stable condition Saturday night following a shooting at the agency’s Harbor Station in San Pedro.
The department tweeted about a “significant police incident” at the station at 10:30 p.m. Then, around 11:15 p.m., LAPD confirmed there was an officer-involved shooting.
“We can confirm that there has been an Officer-Involved Shooting at LAPD’s Harbor Station,” the tweet read. “A Public Information Officer is responding, and we will provide more details as they become available.”
Moore said in a tweet at 11:22 p.m. that he was heading to the hospital.
