   EAST LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – A man wielding a sword was shot and   
   killed by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies at an East L.A.   
   school Wednesday morning, forcing the campus into lockdown.   
      
   The shooting occurred at around 9 a.m. in the outdoor lunch area   
   of the Esteban Torres High School campus, located at 4211 Dozier   
   St.   
      
   Deputies had initially responded to a family disturbance for a   
   suspect who had violated a restraining order against him at a   
   home in the 900 block of North Miller Avenue, less than a half-   
   mile from the school. They arrived on scene to find the suspect   
   standing outside the home “holding a three-foot-long sword,” Los   
   Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Brandon Dean said at a news   
   briefing Wednesday afternoon.   
      
   The suspect then took off running, prompting a foot chase that   
   wound its way to Torres High, where the suspect jumped a fence   
   onto the campus. Deputies surrounded the man and ordered him to   
   drop his sword and surrender. When he began to advance on   
   deputies, they opened fire on him.   
      
   “At once point, the suspect advanced on one of the deputies   
   wielding the sword in the air, and a deputy-involved shooting   
   occurred,” Dean said.   
      
   The man, who was not immediately identified, died at the scene.   
   No deputies or students were hurt during the incident.   
      
   Veronica Rivera described the call she received from her   
   daughter, who is a student at the school.   
      
   “When it happened, she said, ‘Mom, there’s a shooting going on   
   inside the campus. I’m just running.’ She’s just running for her   
   life because it happened so close,” Rivera said. “So I said,   
   ‘just be safe, I’m on my way.'”   
      
   The high school remained on lockdown through 1 p.m. Children   
   were being released to their parents or guardians at the gate   
   located at Eastman Avenue and Hammel Street.   
      
   No nearby schools were locked down.
