Police were responding to an active shooting near a polling place in Azusa Tuesday afternoon, with officials saying at least four people shot.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Scroggins said police were dealing with at least one suspect who was heavily armed.
Few details were released about the shooting, which occurred sometime after 2 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the area of Fourth Street and Orange Avenue, said Officer Jerry Willison of the Azusa Police Department.
"This is a very volatile and critical situation," he said.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department reported firefighters were treating four patients, but their injuries were not immediately known because the situation was "not contained."
Willison declined to provide the location of the shooting for the safety of the officers and the victims, he said.
Azusa police urged residents to stay out of the area and asked all residents to shelter in place.
It was unclear whether any officers were injured in the shooting, Willison said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said they were assisting police.
