A tense confrontation between one person with a knife and another with a gun resulted in a fatal shooting Monday night on the Westside.

Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison said there was some type of argument at the home in the 4700 block of La Villa Marina in Del Rey at about 7:30 p.m.

A knife was pulled, and then a gun, and then one person was shot and killed, Madison said. He said it appeared that the two people may have known each other.
