Los Angeles police say their officers have shot and killed a hit-and-run suspect.
Deputy Police Chief Charlie Beck says reports came in at about 6:15 of a series of hit and run traffic accidents in South Los Angeles.
Beck says officers confronted the driver of a sport utility vehicle that was involved in the accidents.
Beck says the driver told police he had a weapon, and eventually officers fired several shots and killed the man.
Witnesses say the suspect was speeding down Crenshaw Avenue and hitting other cars.
