LOS ANGELES – SWAT teams have surrounded a 7-Eleven store in Van Nuys Saturday, as a man has been barricaded inside for hours.
It all started around 4 a.m. That’s when the Los Angeles Police Department received reports of a man with a gun at the store in the 15000 block of Vanowen Street.
When officers got there, they found the suspect armed with a glass bottle.
Video from the citizen app showed multiple swat trucks positioned outside the storefront. Officers in heavy tactical gear holding a shield were also seen outside the store.
SUGGESTED:
According to the LAPD, no injuries have been reported. The suspect was still inside the store as of 9 a.m.
Saturday morning’s standoff is the latest in a series of crimes targeting 7-Eleven stores across Los Angeles. Last week, a store in San Pedro was ransacked after a street takeover, and earlier this month, multiple stores in Hollywood were robbed by groups within minutes of each other.
