Written by AARON CASTREJON | CityWatch Editor SOUTH PASADENA - The 49-year-old woman who confronted South Pasadena officers with a weapon succumbed to her injuries, Sheriff’s Homicide investigators said.
The woman, who has yet to be identified, became combative while South Pasadena officers and a Los Angeles County Mental Health Clinician while attempting to offer her help. The weapon she revealed turned out to be a pellet gun, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Information Bureau. Police were called to an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Fremont Street to check the welfare of the woman and noticed she was seizing when they arrived, the Sheriff’s Information Bureau said. South Pasadena Firefighters were called to tend to her medical needs. “While speaking to her, officers became aware she was possibly suffering from mental health issues, became uncooperative, and appeared to be unable to care for herself,” the Sheriff’s Information Bureau said. Authorities reportedly spoke to the woman for more than 90 minutes before she armed herself with the replica gun and pointed it at officers, the Sheriff’s Information Bureau said. No one else was injured in the shooting. |
