LONG BEACH — On Feb. 20, A 22-year-old man armed with a shotgun was killed after a shootout with the Long Beach Police. An investigation is underway to determine if the man died from a fatal wound by an officer’s bullet or from injuries he sustained from being hit with a police vehicle.
Police responded to a call at 9:20 p.m. that the suspect had opened fire in front of a restaurant in the Atlantic Avenue and Market Street area.
