Authorities responded to a scene in Arcadia, California after a police officer was reportedly shot and at least two others were injured Wednesday evening.
As of 7 p.m. local time, SWAT members were seen outside a home in an Arcadia neighborhood and were in a standoff with the suspect who was barricaded inside.
The Arcadia Police Department was initially dispatched to the scene at approximately 5:40 p.m., responding to a call of a man with a firearm that was "disturbing the peace," Arcadia PD Lt. Brett Bourgeous said during a press conference.
The disturbance involved two brothers, one of which had a firearm, Bourgeous said.
