“It’s really safe and calm and family-oriented,” one neighbor said. “Nothing ever happens here, so I have no idea.”
Paramedics were held outside for roughly an hour until law enforcement cleared the home. Police said three people were inside the residence when the gunshots rang out.
Two adults and an infant were removed from the home and are OK, according to LAPD.
