LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man suspected of trying to rob a restaurant near the U-S-C campus has been killed in a shootout with two California Highway Patrol officers.
The officers were stopping to eat about 1:40 a-m Sunday at a Subway sandwich shop when they saw two men who appeared to be robbing the restaurant.
When the officers entered, one of the suspects opened fire. The officers returned fire, hitting the armed suspect at least once. The man was taken to California Hospital Medical Center, where he later died.
The other suspect took off, and police searched the area using canines and a helicopter. U-S-C students were told to stay indoors during the search. Police later found the man and arrested him.
The names of the suspects and the officers involved in the shooting were being withheld.
