Upon finding the bus, they observed passengers running from it and seeking help from the officers,\u201d LAPD said in a statement on Wednesday evening. \u201cThe officers quickly learned from the passengers that there was an armed suspect on the Metro bus. They attempted to stop the bus but were unsuccessful, later discovering that the armed suspect had instructed the driver not to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple spike strips were deployed by officers during the pursuit, deflating several tires on the bus and ultimately causing it to stop at 6th Street and Alameda Boulevard, according to LAPD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSWAT personnel quickly observed that a victim was down inside the bus, formulated a tactical plan, and made entry without delay. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident,\u201d authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>Officers immediately began to render medical aid to the victim who was suffering from gunshot wounds before he was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased, LAPD confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Police have not yet given a motive in the case but did say that Campbell has since been charged with murder and booked at the 77th Area Jail where he is being held on a $2 million bail.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is currently ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
