Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sources familiar with the incident said preliminary information suggests that the man was armed with a weapon and made threats seconds before the shooting.

The police department lobby has been closed and some streets in the area have been shut down.
