    A man accused of shooting two people outside a Target store in downtown Los Angeles has been arrested following an hourslong standoff at an apartment in Westlake.

    According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the stand-off started around 11:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of Ingraham Street in the Westlake District. The standoff came to an end around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday.

    Earlier Tuesday, LAPD said they were searching for the gunman after an armed security guard and store employee who were trying to stop a shoplifter were shot near a Target in a downtown Los Angeles shopping mall.

    Officers were called to the 700 block of S. Figueroa Street for a report of a shooting just before 9 p.m. on Monday. Two people were found with gunshot wounds at the FIGat7th shopping mall, where police said the security guard and Target employee tried to stop a shoplifter.

    The man seen on store security camera video walked out of the store with unpaid merchandise in a suitcase and was confronted by the guard and employee, police said. The man armed with a handgun opened fire, sending shoppers running for cover.

    One of the victims, a 33-year-old armed security officer employed by the mall, returned fire, police said. It was not immediately clear whether the gunman was struck.

    The other victim was a 45-year-old Target loss-prevention employee, LAPD Capt. Raul Jovel said.

    The armed guard was treated and released from a hospital. The Target employee remained in critical condition Tuesday afternoon.
