GRANADA HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A shooting happened near the home of L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey's home in Granada Hills Saturday night after someone tried to steal a car there, authorities said.

A security team for Lacey was involved in the incident, which was prompted by attempted car theft around 6:20 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

According to police, the security detail had two cars outside Lacey's home. As a security officer exited one of the cars, two suspects pulled up in their own vehicle.

Investigators from Lacey's personal security detail from the D.A.'s office noticed the suspects attempting to steal a car that was parked in the area. One of the officers opened fire during a confrontation with the suspects.
