A homicide suspect livestreamed on Facebook Thursday morning as he traded gunfire with police, eventually shooting a Los Angeles SWAT officer before a police round struck him, a law enforcement official said.

The official said the video, which captured at least part of the encounter, showed the suspect shouting as he pointed a handgun at officers with gunshots ringing around him. At one point he yells that the officers are “about to kill me.”

The suspect was one of four people wanted in connection with a gang-related killing on March 31, Beck said. The man led police officers from Los Angeles and Hawthorne on a brief chase in El Segundo, which ended with the shootout at El Segundo and South Aviation boulevards sometime before 9:45 a.m.
