WOODLAND HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A suspect fatally shot by police on the 101 Freeway Wednesday was unarmed, but had threatened police, the LAPD announced Thursday.

The LAPD said the incident started in the area of Plummer Street and Shirley Avenue near the Northridge Fashion Center just before 10 p.m. Wednesday. Officers attempted to stop a man who was driving erratically in a black Ford Crown Victoria. He took off and led them on a seven-minute pursuit.

When officers backed off, the suspect began driving more erratically, running red lights and almost striking pedestrians, according to authorities.

The pursuit came to an end on the 101 Freeway near Canoga Avenue when the driver appeared to make a U-turn into oncoming traffic. Officers slammed into the driver's side of the suspect vehicle. The driver jumped out the passenger side and pointed his hands at officers several times as he ran across lanes of the freeway.

According to police, the suspect exited his vehicle and took what appeared to be an aggressive "shooting stance" several times, extending his arms out, and pointing an unknown object at the officers. This caused the officer at the scene to believe he was armed with a handgun.

The LAPD said more than three officers opened fire, killing 19-year-old Abdul Arian. Police recovered a cellphone from the scene.

Kebab has been removed from the premises.

But in all seriousness? is it really 100% confirmed whether he was armed or unarmed?

It actually looks like he takes a shot at around 55 seconds but I'm not sure.

It's the ol' aim a cellphone/pack of cigs at the cops and then whine about being shot by corrupt pigs. What a cheeky little carpet pilot.

A Glock 17 (standard issue for LAPD I think) has a 17 round mag. A lot of cops will shoot a whole magazine instead of just 1 or 2. 17 bullets x 5 or 6 cops = 90 pretty quick
