Los Angeles police shot a rifle-wielding maniac dead in the parking lot of the kid-friendly California Science Center near the LA Memorial Coliseum on Thursday morning, cops said.
The LAPD were called to the scene at 9:36 a.m. and the gunman immediately opened fire on officers, police told The Post.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
Video showed multiple LAPD patrol vehicles and at least two ambulances near the California Science Center parking lot, adjacent to Exposition Rose Garden, NBC Los Angeles reported.
The shooting unfolded just outside the University of Southern California. The area is home to several educational institutions, including the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the California African American Museum.
