“Deputies established a containment of the location and requested additional resources,” the LASD update stated. “An LASD air unit observed a male suspect on the roof…firing rounds from a rifle.”

Additional units, including four Bearcat vehicles, moved in with an arrest team to take the suspect into custody around 1 a.m., law enforcement officials confirmed.

Video footage from the scene shows what appears to be gunshots being fired; other videos show a nearby witness hiding behind a car for safety and multiple police officers with guns drawn around the apartment building.

One woman was on her way home when she realized her street was blocked off by a large police presence.

“My Uber dropped me off because my street was closed,” Marina del Rey resident Kierra Swusdee said. “I was walking down the [street] and this guy was crouching behind a car and was like ‘Come here, there’s a shooter!’ so I ran and hid behind the car.”

Sheriff’s department officials confirmed they were canvassing the area for evidence, witnesses and potential victims, however no victims were found.
