Standoff between suspects and police is underway. |
The incident unfolded about 11:30 a.m. local time in the 20600 block of Ventura Boulevard, as the torrent of cars with Trump supporters was streaming past Woodland Hills, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California. | |
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said that a woman, who was not part of the pro-Trump caravan, but was driving alongside the rally, reported that her tire was damaged after she heard sounds resembling that of gunfire. | |
There were reports of a person brandishing a firearm from a balcony near the scene of the incident, police said, according to local media. | |
A witness told police that they saw a gunman in the apartment block at Ventura Boulevard. Police have sent a SWAT unit to locate the alleged attacker, which led to a protracted standoff between suspects that refused to come out and responding officers. | |
Police have sealed off the apartment, saying that three suspects have been holed up inside. It's still unclear if any of them is armed. | |
No injuries have resulted from the incident, with the only known damage so far being a pierced tire. | |
