Fleeing suspect opens fire on LAPD

This compilation of bodycam and security camera footage shows LAPD Gang Enforcement Officers conducting a stop, in suspicion that the contact has a handgun. They are proven correct when the suspect open fire as he flees. One of the officers is hit, but the suspect is arrested without being shot after an impressive tackle. Nonetheless, viewer discretion remains advised. The suspect, later identified as Ernesto Sepulveda, 26 years of age, is momentarily detained by the LAPD officers, who are operating under the suspicion that he has a handgun in his pocket. However, when Sepulveda gets off his bike, he takes off, firing his weapon as he runs. The officer closest to Sepulveda is shot in the leg and goes down. He also suffers a graze to his face. While his partner stops to help him, a second pair of officers interdicts Sepulveda, who can be seen dropping his weapon at 02:38 before running into a nearby park. One picks up Sepulveda's handgun as they chase him. One of this pair executes an NFL-worthy tackle at 02:51, scraping Sepulveda across the asphalt to a halt before feeding him a left hook that's impeccably timed against another officer slamming their car door. He, his partner, and a third arrest and cuff Sepulveda with superior numbers. The wounded officer was transported and treated at an area hospital, and is in stable condition. Sepulveda was treated for a laceration to the head, possibly as a result of the tackle or the follow-up strikes, which were deemed a "Non-Categorical Use Of Force" by LAPD.
