Ambulance stolen during homicide investigation near Downey Library, police say
"A man was stabbed to death near a Los Angeles County library on Saturday, and another man stole an ambulance that responded to the scene, police said. Officers responded to a report of a stabbing victim in front of the Downey Library shortly after 9:30 a.m., the Downey Police Department said in a news release. The man died at the scene, according to investigators."
"His identity was not released pending notification of his family members, police said. Witnesses reported the assailant ran toward Downey High School, prompting a lockdown of both the library and high school, police said.
