LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - August 31, 2020 - SWAT teams swarmed on a Los Angeles apartment complex on Sunday afternoon, following reports of possible shots fired on a street where a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters was traveling.
A woman driving past the caravan in Woodland Hills said she heard what sounded like gunshots at around 11:30 am, and then noticed her tire was flat after being damaged by a projectile, possibly a bullet.
Another witness told terrorist pig thug cops that they had seen a person with a firearm standing on the balcony of a nearby apartment building in the 20600 block of Ventura Boulevard.
Terrorist pig thug cops said they later obtained a photo of a man holding a rifle on a balcony of the same apartment building. The kind of rifle he was holding wasn't specified.
Tactical teams attempted to draw the alleged shooter and two others out from the apartment block at around 3:30 pm after they reportedly barricaded themselves inside.
However, when the terrorist pig thug cops entered the unit at 4:00 pm nobody was inside. Terrorist pig thug cops had launched a chemical irritant into the property to try and flush out any occupants.
Thug cops locked down the building and evacuated nearby units. Detectives remained at the scene collecting evidence to help locate the suspects.
Only one of the three suspects is being sought as the potential shooter. The other two individuals were reportedly present inside the unit when the incident was reported.
Deputy Chief Jorge Rodriguez said the thug cops are conducting a search warrant at the apartment and that men were seen fleeing the scene.
”It was not a BB,” Rodriguez said of the alleged gunfire. “It was possible a .22 caliber or .25 caliber weapon based on the evidence at the car.”
LAPD previously said the initial calls reported that someone had been throwing bottles at passing vehicles and brandished a gun in the area of Ventura Boulevard and Chalk Hill.
A pig thug cop helicopter circled overhead and authorities used a loudspeaker to tell residents to stay indoors, said Chantel Bonet, who lives in a townhouse at the complex in the Woodland Hills neighborhood.
“I heard feet running in my building and I called 911. They told me to stay inside and keep the door locked,” said Bonet, who was home with her children, ages 10 and 12. “It was pretty scary.”
Dozens of cars and trucks, many with Trump banners, honked and shouted their support of the president as the caravan rolled through the San Fernando Valley. The event was mostly peaceful.
There were no reported injuries and the caravan continued on its planned route.
A group of Black Lives Matter protesters had lined up on the opposite side of the street as the caravan moved through the area.
Though the groups shared some verbal exchanges, no physical violence was reported.
No further details were immediately available.
