One dead in attempted robbery at Los Angeles party: reports

At least one person was killed and five wounded during an attempted armed robbery at a multimillion-dollar Hollywood Hills home Friday, according to reports.

Witnesses told TMZ they heard about 10 gunshots fired by three gunmen who drove up to the home in the city’s exclusive West Hollywood section at about 2 a.m., wounding a security guard who told cops he was an off-duty LAPD officer.

Responding cops found the guard — whose LAPD employment could not be immediately confirmed, according to the report — under a Range Rover at a nearby house. He was shot in the stomach and rushed to a hospital, TMZ reported.

The robbery suspects who drove up to the upscale home in an Audi then drove off with a flat tire after the guard returned fire.
