Authorities blocked off roads near the West Hollywood Gateway Mall, located on the 7100 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, for over five hours as they launched an investigation.

“I heard helicopters and sirens, so I stepped outside to see what was happening,” said Ryan Edler, a local resident. “This area is a major hub for walking and public transit, so this will definitely have an impact.”

No deputies were injured during the incident, and officials urged the public to avoid the area while investigations continued late into the night.
