LOS ANGELES -- Police fatally shot a man who called 911 early Saturday morning to say he had killed his girlfriend.
The man called police around 3:25 a.m., and officers responding to 3107 Midvale Ave. found the man outside the residence.
He appeared to have a handgun and an officer involved shooting occurred, according to Los Angeles police Officer Norma Eisenman of the Media Relations Section.
