Updated: La Vina gates at Sunset Ridge are being kept open, per a neighbor, to allow Meadows residents to get home.
For at least the past hour, sheriffs and police have blocked Lincoln Avenue north of Altadena Drive and South of Loma Alta where an alleged shooting has occurred. It also appears the shooter is hold up in one of the houses on the west side of the street. I also saw what I think is a "door-buster" truck being escorted up to the site.
I left The Meadows around 3:30 p.m.. Lincoln had been blocked and police had guns drawn.
Trying to return at 4:30, I and other Meadows residents could not go past a police block on Loma Alta just west of Sunset Ridge Drive. Thanks to a friend and another resident who live in La Vina, they opened the Sunset Ridge gate for many of us who then could drive through La Vina and down Lincoln to Canyon Crest.
Police had Lincoln blocked just south of Canyon Crest, so right now, Meadows residents can't exit.
If anyone hears of updates, please let me know.
