Four people were stabbed or shot Tuesday in the heart of Hollywood's tourist mecca, where one person is dead in an officer-involved shooting.

Several streets in the area around Sunset Boulevard, Ivar Avenue and North Cahuenga Boulevard will remain closed Tuesday afternoon, said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Tony Im. Two people have reportedly been taken into custody.

A tourist mecca, interesting description.

Hula Snackbar at work again?

Another report is saying it was outside of the CNN Hollywood building. FWIW.

[BenLurkin]

Kenneth is still looking for the frequency.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

See, see! Trump’s harsh anti-immigration rhetoric again!

[DJ Frisat]

Rest assured: this is in some way Trump's fault!!!

Probably the 'Muslim travel ban'...

Where's my throw-up pot?

It's only an apt description to those who don't know the area.

Sunset and Ivar isn't exactly the heart of the Hollywood tourist zone.

Funny. I've been all over Sunset Blvd on multiple visits and I have no idea where some tourist zone might be.

Whoa. That sounds very close to where Amoeba Records is or used to be.

Wonder if the religion of peace was involved. Stabbing and then the cop shot him, probably the perp is the dead one.

[Popman]

Not that I wish anyone was hurt badly...

I know it’s wrong, but I hope the perps were refugees who came from one of the seven countries on the watch list just to shut these arrogant pompous douchebags celebutards up...

Officer involved shooting?

The gibmedats drooling over the prospects of looting peacefully demonstrating along Hollywood Blvd.

[BenLurkin]

Oh good grief. What an asinine comment.

[BenLurkin]

Just about across the street from Amoeba Records, which last I heard is still in business.

Key points from the story:

1) It happened inside a Jack in the Box

2) The incident is likely to affect rush hour traffic in Hollywood and surrounding neighborhoods.

I suspect a homeless schizophrenic.

Lots of garden variety deranged people in Hollywood. Lots.
