A knife-wielding suspect, shot by LAPD officers at the intersection of Hollywood & Highland, has died. The intersection remains closed tonight.
Eyewitnesses say tourists on the famous boulevard ran for cover as the confrontation escalated into gunfire. Many of those eyewitnesses have posted dramatic images of the frightening scene. One Jordan White posted this tweet with over 16,000 retweets and it looks like an eyewitness account. I have reached out to Jordan on Twitter on my main news account @HNNAfrica
