Original press release as follows:

 

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB), Special Weapons Team is en route to 44300 block 4th Street East to assist Antelope Valley Court deputies, and Lancaster Station deputies regarding the circumstances surrounding an armed barricaded suspect.

This morning, at approximately 10:30, deputies from Court Services went to the location to serve a court-ordered eviction notice when they were confronted by a 50-year-old male White adult who pointed a rifle at them. The deputies immediately retreated and called for assistance. Information was later obtained that would indicate the suspect has access to several rifles. The suspect is believed to be alone.
 
As a precaution, the Kinder Care located at 44500 block of Foxton Avenue, which is across the street from the location was evacuated by deputy personnel. Out of an abundance of caution, El Dorado School, 361 East Pondera Street, was released from the northwest corner and parents were allowed to pick up their children from the north side of the school. Most of the students have been reunited with their parents; however, some students still remain in safe care of  El Dorado Elementary personnel. Parents of students are asked to pick up their children at the east parking lot of the school.  Access can be made from Lancaster Boulevard to southbound Foxton Avenue.
