A police shooting Friday morning on the 10 Freeway in City Terrace closed the freeway in both directions, causing a major traffic backup, authorities said.
The Monterey Park Police Department is leading the investigation of the shooting, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Radio dispatch reports said that police shot someone around 10:30 a.m.
Helicopter video from KTLA-TV showed three Monterey Park police cruisers parked on the eastbound side of the freeway behind a white BMW near the Eastern Avenue exit. A white tarp covered what looked like a body lying on the ground at a nearby freeway ramp.
This is a breaking story and will be updated as additional information becomes available.
