North Hollywood: On January 26, 2018, around 2:03 a.m., officers assigned to North Hollywood Area Patrol initiated a vehicle pursuit of an unreported stolen vehicle. The vehicle pursuit ended when the suspect, identified as Montel Glover, exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The officers chased Glover a short distance, when they observed him brandish a handgun in their direction, which resulted in an Officer-Involved-shooting (OIS). Glover, who was not struck by the officer’s gunfire, fired two rounds as he continued running from officers.

The officers established containment of the area and Glover was taken into custody without incident when he attempted to walk out of the perimeter.

A loaded semiautomatic handgun was recovered in close proximity to where Glover was taken into custody. No officers were injured during this incident.
