Officers responding to reports of a person with a gun in Woodland Hills Sunday have evacuated some buildings in the area, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
Three suspects are barricaded at a location in the 20500 block of Ventura Boulevard, LAPD said.
Officers have set up a perimeter and a SWAT team was called to the scene.
People were told to evacuate nearby buildings but LAPD provided no information on their locations or how many buildings were affected.
Police got a call around 11:30 a.m. that someone who was throwing bottles at passing vehicles brandished a gun in the area in the area of Ventura Boulevard and Chalk Hill, authorities said.
A pro-Trump caravan was scheduled to pass through the area around 11 a.m. Sunday, going from Woodland Hills to Studio City. It’s unclear whether the incident is related to the rally.
No further details were immediately available.
