A security guard at the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Centre in Hollywood today shot and killed a man wielding a sword, police said.

Police detained the guard, who said the noon shooting was in self-defense, said Los Angeles Police Officer Karen Smith.

Ummm… what? Continuing:

Investigators interviewed witnesses at the Franklin Avenue complex. Several officers gathered around a red sports car in a church parking lot on Bronson Avenue.

The castle-like structure, formerly a hotel, is a Hollywood landmark, its turrets visible from the nearby 101 Freeway. According to a church website, the Celebrity Centre caters to “artists, politicians, leaders of industry, sports figures and anyone with the power and vision to create a better world.”

I see… A little bird told me the sword didn’t have the victim’s fingerprints on it, and that it was planted on the victim. Just a rumor?
