Three Los Angeles Police Department officers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries Wednesday after they were shot during a confrontation outside an apartment in Lincoln Heights. A lengthy standoff followed the shooting in the community east of downtown Los Angeles, where officers at the scene told NBCLA the shooter has died. It was not immediately clear how the man died. Authorities encouraged residents to stay indoors and lock their doors near the apartment located at North Mission Road and North Broadway. The officers were believed to have been injured as they were searching for a person who got out of a vehicle after a traffic stop. Details about what led to the traffic stop were not immediately available.

The LAPD declared a citywide tactical alert as officers began swarming the area. A tactical alert is a preliminary step taken by authorities to mobilize personnel that includes the redistribution of on-duty individuals. LAPD units completely surrounded an apartment building where the man was barricaded. The standoff ended at about 9 p.m. Details about the shooter's identity were not immediately available.
