Long Beach, CA

Two suspects remain at large after a bank robbery in Laguna Hills, and one of them have been caught on the 405 Freeway at Woodruff Avenue south of Willow Avenue at the 405 Freeway in Long Beach.

The freeway is on fire at the present time after law enforcement deployed tear gas in a wooded area off the freeway. CNN and all of the local news channels here in Los Angeles are covering this Breaking News story.

The suspect vehicle was stopped northbound on the 405 freeway at the Woodruff exit in Long Beach, where an officer-involved shooting occurred.

The CHP officer reported that the vehicle has bullet holes in the doors and so it is safe to assume that shots were fired by the officer.

One suspect, an adult black male, fled on foot and remains at large. CHP and LBPD officers have set up a perimeter in the east Long Beach neighborhood to search for him.   One of the suspects may be a woman, and a local neighborhood is on lock down, including a school.

The entire area is shutdown.  If you are in the area of Willow and Woodruff STAY INSIDE!  Several local schools are on lockdown including Millikan High School, St. Joseph's High School, and several local elemetary schools.

Some witnesses have reported seeing the suspect on foot near the Carson exit at the 605 Freeway, perhaps in Hawaiian Gardens while other reports have said that the suspect is in Cypress. Officers are still trying to determine which reports are true and currently advise residents to lock their doors.

So, if you see anyone in your neighborhood who looks like these two suspects, call 911.  Police want everyone in this part of our community to take caution and to remain indoors.  BE SAFE!
