Video After The Jump KTLA Reports LOS ANGELES -- A woman under police protection was fatally stabbed while officers were just steps away in the Mid-City section of Los Angeles. It happened inside a second-story apartment on Cochran Street near Pico Boulevard just before midnight, according to Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Rick McClure. A man whom police already knew about climbed into the woman's apartment while two officers sat in a patrol car outside, investigators said. The officers had taken the woman back to her apartment after she filed a domestic violence report. The officers were filling out a crime report when someone ran up to their patrol car and said a woman was being stabbed, Police spokesman Bruce Borihanh said. The officers ran into the apartment, saw the man attacking the woman and shot him, Borihanh said. The suspect and the woman were taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where they were pronounced dead, officials said. Their identities have not been released. It's believed the man reached the second-floor apartment from the roof, then climbed in a bathroom window, Detective Gus Villanueva said. The two were said to have been romantically involved in the past.
