A man wanted following a report of a stolen sport utility vehicle was fatally shot and two officers were hospitalized in a police shooting Monday in the west San Fernando Valley.



The shooting occurred about 10:30 a.m. near Hamlin Street and Corbin Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The SUV wanted in connection with the theft report came to a stop on the side of Corbin Avenue.

The officers were taken to a hospital, where one was treated for a knee injury and the other was treated for scrapes and bruises. Each has been with the LAPD for about three years, Capt. Patricia Sandoval said.

Both officers appeared to be alert and talking with paramedics at the scene.

"I'm happy to report having just visited both of them and that they're in good condition," LAPD first assistant chief Michael Moore said. "Their injuries are non-life threatening and we expect a full recovery."

A weapon was recovered at the scene, but it was unclear if the suspect actually fired at the officers, Sandoval said.

The two Topanga Station officers were in a patrol car in the area when they began chasing the suspect in an SUV after receiving a "LoJack hit" that indicated it had been reported stolen, Sandoval said. They chased the SUV for about seven minutes, and the suspect got out of the SUV and ran off, followed by the officers on foot, Sandoval said.

The shooting occurred about two to five minutes into the foot chase, Sandoval said. It was unclear if both officers fired, Sandoval said.

The SUV theft suspect was identified as Daniel Carver, 29, said coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His hometown was not known.

The investigation into the shooting will include body camera video from the officers and their patrol vehicle, though it was unclear if the cameras were operating during the incident.
