Winfrey
said the unidentified suspect being held “just started shooting a gun”
and was seen “running wild around the neighborhood” before he retreated
inside of his house.
Winfrey also said that residents are not
being allowed into the neighborhood by members of the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department and that the situation is "very tense."
"All of us who live here are scared and we can't get in or out of our
neighborhood.
9 a.m. Original Post:
Los
Cerritos Community News can confirm that school officials at Norwalk-La
Mirada Unified School District ordered the school to be closed off at
around 7:45 a.m. after members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department responded to a call about possible criminal activity in the
immediate area.
Officials inside the Superintendents Office at
NLMUSD tell LCCN that "all the students are safe, and that no police
activity is taking place on campus."
Los Coyotes Middle School is located near Rosecrans and Beach in La Mirada.
LCCN will have additional details as they develop.
