I do not have all the details but I want my neighborhood to be aware of what happened today. I was driving home around 3:30pm when I saw the police cars, a lot of them, heading down PCH, then turn south on Alamitos. After a drive through the neighborhood, I realized a serious incident may have been centered somewhere around MacArthur Park. A man suspected of carrying a gun was arrested by Long Beach police at MacArthur Park Thursday afternoon following an officer-involved shooting according to authorities. Later reports added the suspect was not hit and officers were not injured. At the moment, the entire park is closed down as a crime scene, as is Anaheim from Orange to Walnut. I will update with more information as I learn it, here are the news stories I could find.
