LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man fleeing police was killed after he wounded an officer during a running gun battle, authorities said.

Richard Risher, 18, died at the scene late Monday night in the Nickerson Gardens public housing project in Watts, police said. Risher lived in Apple Valley, about 70 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

Officers were making extra patrols at the housing project because of violence involving a gang there and a rival gang at another housing project that has resulted in 11 shootings and three deaths since July 15, police Chief Charlie Beck told KABC-TV.
