 The L.A. shooting was “a completely unprovoked attack,” LAPD Capt. Lillian Carranza told KTLA.

The two officers were responding to an unrelated call when they were fired upon by a rifle, officials said. One man was taken into custody as a person of interest shortly after the shooting and was being questioned, Det. Meghan Aguilar said Monday morning. But a second gunman is still on the loose, she said.

The officers were not hurt.
