ORIGINAL POST
The Netflix Headquarters and KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California was placed on lockdown not long ago. The police received word that a person with a "deadly weapon" was on the lot.
Los Angeles Police Department Officer Tony Im said the person was taken into custody, KTLA-TV reported. It remains unclear if the person was actually armed when taken into custody.
It is unclear whether or not the lockdown has been lifted.
Appears @netflix employees are being evacuated from the building across from us. #netflix pic.twitter.com/0PlD8cAfi2
