\"At this time we believe it was a round coming from an officer,\" LAPD Assistant Chief Dominic Choi told reporters Thursday evening.

Moore said he directed the release of critical incident video, which will include the 9-1-1 calls, radio transmissions, body worn video and any CCTV and other evidence gathered at this preliminary stage, by Monday.

\"My commitment is to conduct a thorough, complete and transparent investigation into the circumstances that led up to this tragedy and provide the family and public with as much information as possible,\" Moore said.

Per California law, the California attorney general will be investigating and independently reviewing the officer-involved shooting.

The California Department of Justice is investigating the incident along with other law enforcement partners. Once the investigation is complete, it will be independently reviewed by the California Department of Justice’s Special Prosecutions Section within the Criminal Law Division.

The identity of the suspect has not been released.

A third person, a woman, was also injured during the alleged assault, Spell said, and was transported to the hospital. Investigators were still determining the extent and nature of her injuries.

It is also unclear if there was any connection between her and the suspect, Choi said.

Investigators were still determining what prompted the officers to open fire and what the alleged weapon was. Police have not found a gun during the search of the area at this time, Choi said.

\"We're at the very preliminary stages of this investigation,\" Spell said. \"There's still a lot of surveillance video to review, there are witnesses to interview.\"

Investigators will also be looking at police body-worn camera footage, which was on during the incident, Choi said. The officers involved in the shooting also still need to be interviewed, he said.

A Burlington spokesperson said the company is supporting authorities during the ongoing investigation.

\"At Burlington, our hearts are heavy as a result of the tragic incident that occurred today at our North Hollywood, CA store,\" the spokesperson said in a statement. \"Our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our customers and associates.\"
