* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Los Angeles, California — On August 18, 2026, at approximately 7:30 p.m., Los Angeles Police officers assigned to Southeast Patrol Division responded to a radio call regarding a kidnapping in progress in the area of Central Avenue and Century Blvd. The comments of the call indicated the suspect, later identified as 39-year-old Bryant Session, was armed with a firearm described as a possible AR-type gun. Upon arrival, officers observed Session standing in front of a restaurant holding what appeared to be an assault rifle. Officers issued repeated commands for Session to drop the weapon; however, he failed to comply and moved behind a parked vehicle. Session then pointed the rifle in the direction of the officers, resulting in an Officer Involved Shooting (OIS). Session was not struck by gunfire and fled southbound from the officers toward a rear alley, where he concealed the rifle in a parking lot of a nearby apartment complex. Responding officers subsequently located and detained Session without further use of force. The victim positively identified Session, and he was later booked for 207 PC – Kidnapping. Officers located and recovered the rifle, which was booked as evidence. The rifle was subsequently determined to be an Airsoft imitation firearm loaded with plastic BBs. No officers or community members were injured during the incident. Personnel from Force Investigation Division (FID) responded to the scene and assumed investigative responsibility. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'William Prowse IV' - Efrain - 'The Fraternal Order book' - 'Quân La' - 'Zixuno' - 'Rate A Creator with Omar Alkahlout' - 'Forever A Loner' - KHALID - Michael Griffin - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - Rose - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - LJ - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - "John B.
