The incident was reported about 12:10 a.m. near along Western Avenue between 8th and 9th streets, LAPD Sgt. Frank Preciado told KTLA.
Officers responded to the area after receiving a call about a man armed with a handgun and making a disturbance.
Officers spotted the man, who was armed with what appeared to be a gun and a female officer fired at the man, Preciado said. He did not elaborate on what led to the shooting.
The man was taken to a hospital with an injury to his lower body and is recovering.
No officers were injured during the shooting, Preciado said.
Detectives remained at the scene in the 6 a.m. hour combing for evidence.
Preciado said further investigation will determine whether or not the gun was real or a replica.
