Shoot Out Aftermath: Neighborhood Quiet Tuesday Night

A car chase that ended in shoot out last night at the intersection of Bixel and Seventh Streets, left a police perimeter up around the area through much of the night.

The perimeter ran east from Bixel Street to Beaudry Avenue and south from Wilshire Boulevard to Seventh Street for much of the night, with residents being urged to be very careful as they moved through the area.

Officers seemed particularly on edge due to the fact that the man had shot at police.

No officers were injured, but the man is hospitalized in stable but good condition after being shot in the legs.

Nearby businesses too saw traffic slow with Seventh Street out of Downtown Los Angeles closed for the night.

Monty, a popular bar on Seventh Street, was virtually empty. Staff blamed the incident.

Echo Park-Silver Lake Patch is expecting more news about the man injured in the shoot out, believed to be a suspect in a July murder.

Police say he is the brother of Jack Schlesinger, who was shot and killed off Temple Street in 2010 in a similar shoot out involving a car chase and a rifle.
