Someone with an assault rifle killed one person and wounded two others Tuesday near two Los Angeles-area polling sites that were locked down as a result.
The suspect then began shooting at arriving officers who returned fire before they took cover near a park, Azusa police Chief Steve Hunt said.
The shooting put at least two polling locations on lockdown. Dalton Elementary School and Memorial Park North Recreation Center were impacted by the shooting according to KTLA.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the suspect was described as heavily armed by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Scroggin.
The motive of the shooting was unknown and it was unclear if it had anything to do with the election.
No officers were hurt.
Hunt said police were looking for a female suspect. He did not know if she had been wounded or killed in the exchange of gunfire with police.
