Sputnik/ Наталья Селиверстова

Los Angeles police officer shot and killed a 14-year-old boy after the teen opened fire on him during a brief foot chase, Chicago Tribute reports.

The shooting occurred Tuesday in Boyle Heights, a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood east of downtown Los Angeles that police say is still home to nearly three dozen gangs.

"The tragedy of this event cannot be understated," Deputy Chief Robert Arcos said. "This event underscores the need for youth programs and outreach which provide opportunities and alternatives for the youth of our communities."
