Default Mexican Consulate Standoff. - 11-09-2004, 12:05 PM

LOS ANGELES (AP) — At least one suspect took an unknown number of hostages Tuesday at the Mexican consulate, and a TV news camera later showed a man apparently being shot as he held a woman by the neck.
KNBC-TV broadcast videotape of a man clutching a sign while using a woman as a shield as police followed them down a sidewalk. The man suddenly let go of the woman's neck and fell backwards, as if he was shot. The woman escaped unhurt and police closed in on the man.

One person was taken to a hospital, said Fire Department spokesman Bob Collis.

A portion of the area was evacuated after the hostage situation began at about 8:30 a.m., said Officer Kristi Sandoval, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department. Police cordoned off several blocks around the building near downtown Los Angeles, and ambulances and fire trucks gathered nearby.

A news helicopter hovering above the building showed video of several people standing near windows of the four-story building.

A telephone call to the consulate's press office went unanswered and the Mexican embassy in Washington had no immediate comment or details.


Crazy ass shit. Just happened a couple of blocks from where I live. All the streets were blocked. LAPD shot the fucker live on tv. Crazy stuff. Still going on as I post this.
