Shots Fired at Tent Near Business, Suspect Barricaded and Officer Needs Help at Gaffey and Channel

Summary: A male suspect fired three rounds from a blue tent surrounded by brown crates near a business called Red Carpet at Grand and Century in Los Angeles. The suspect, described as a bald Black male wearing no shirt and blue jeans, released a large or medium-sized white dog that attempted to bite bystanders. The suspect then retreated into the tent and later fled, losing visual contact with officers. Subsequently, an officer needs help call was broadcast at Gaffey and Channel, with reports of an injured male (approximately 35 years old) with facial lacerations. Multiple units responded, blocked off the parking lot, and eventually took the suspect into custody. The situation was declared code 4 (under control), but not before significant risk to officers and the public.
