LAPD said officers were responding to a "family dispute" call and encountered the suspect, identified as Carlos Torres Jr., on the front porch.

While talking with the suspect, he apparently pulled out a gun from his waistband and pointed it at officers and fired, police said.

Torres retreated back into the house and multiple gunshots can be heard.

A few minutes later, Torres was seen running through a neighborhood yard and onto Ottoman Street. Officers again fired as they were chasing him.
