Police were working to determine his position at the residence.<\/p>\n The suspect, described as a man in his 60s, had not yet been booked, so no additional details were being released at this time, Reina said.<\/p>\n No residents of the facility, which is home to more than 100 people, were injured, officials said.<\/p>\n The shooting remains under investigation.<\/p>\n Marqueece Harris-Dawson, president of the Los Angeles City Council, thanked first responders for their swift response to the shooting to render aid and take the suspect into custody.<\/p>\n “Their action we absolutely believe prevented further injury or loss of life of this very, very precious population that we have here in our community,” Harris-Dawson said during the press briefing. “We’ll continue to work with them to investigate to make sure we keep guns out of places like senior housing facilities.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
