A 23-year-old man was shot by a deputy Wednesday after he opened fire from a home in Lawndale, prompting a neighborhood lockdown as authorities rushed to evacuate nearby residents.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials said Travis Herr is hospitalized in stable condition.
Aerial TV footage showed the man as he exited a home holding a rifle and opening fire shortly before he went down in the 4200 block of 164th Street near the 405 Freeway.
The shots reportedly started from inside the home about 12:40 p.m., prompting Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies to evacuate nearby homes and put the neighborhood on lockdown.
"We're evacuating some houses out there, containing the situation," sheriff's Sgt. Robert Webber said. "We got a bunch of resources going out there."
Authorities said Herr, a Lawndale resident, used multiple firearms to shoot at deputies, vehicles and homes.
A neighbor reported hearing gunshots and the first deputies to arrive heard them coming from inside the house, said Sgt. James North. The neighbor said they saw the man with a handgun and a rifle. Television news cameras saw the man walking around with a rifle.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials said the South L.A. sheriff's station had previously received numerous calls for service at Herr's home.
The California Highway Patrol briefly closed the northbound and southbound offramps to Hawthorne Boulevard in response to the incident, the agency's dispatch logs show. The ramps were reopened about 3:30 p.m.
Herr could be charged with attempted murder of a peace officer, authorities said.
