Paramedics rushed at least one person from the scene of the officer-involved shooting to an area hospital, said Shawn Lenske of the Los Angeles City Fire Department.

The condition of that person was not immediately known, Lenske said.

The officer-involved shooting at 7105 Woodlake Ave., north of Sherman Way, was reported to police at 5:40 a.m., said a watch commander at the Los Angeles Police Department's Topanga Station.
