At least one firefighter was killed in a shooting at a small fire station in Agua Dulce, Los Angeles on Tuesday. The offender is on the loose. The American media also reported the shooting of one person.

According to the sheriff’s office, the shooting was reported by 11. Local time (20:00 Poland time). The media reported that the person who called for help recognized the attacker by name. Eyewitnesses claim that the offender left the scene with a pickup truck.

The sheriff’s office reported a fire at the suspect’s home, about 16 km from the fire station. A firefighting helicopter was used in the operation, which dropped water on the building.

The fire department earlier said it was preventing all units from fighting the fire until the building was secured, as it was not clear where the suspect was. The media reported that a dead body was visible in front of the burning house – perhaps the perpetrator of the shooting.
