RE: “Hmm...sure seems like a nice area.
Wonder why the officer was wearing a vest? (Thank God he was)”

It is a nice enough area but there is crime everywhere around L.A.
The shooter in this case was trying to break into cars near the high school and was approached by the officer — shooter is still, as of now, on the loose. Hundreds of officers were deployed to the area and numerous nearby schools are still on lockdown while they hunt for the shooter and go door to door in neighborhoods.
The shooter is thought to be a white guy with long hair.
Traffic in the area is a mess. Multiple off-ramps on the 101 are blocked as are numerous surface streets. I had to use every short cut I know to get through just now! And to top it off, the shooter’s probably three states away by now.
