New twist in LAPD shooting

The suspect killed this morning by police was handcuffed at the time he was shot, but had managed to reach a gun in his pants and open fire on officer Andy Taylor, the Times reports on the web based on "several LAPD sources familiar with the investigation." Chief Bratton declined comment until he gets a full briefing. Taylor is recovering from his wounds.
