A high school football game at Los Angeles Southwest College in South Los Angeles was abruptly halted on Friday night after reports of possible shooting activity surfaced.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department received a call shortly before 9 p.m., dispatching deputies to the campus where they secured the area and began evacuating students and spectators northward toward Imperial Highway.
Video from the scene captured at least one woman being escorted on a stretcher, her injuries not immediately clarified, while authorities conducted a sweep for any suspect or evidence of gunfire.
After a thorough search, officials confirmed that no shooting had taken place and no active threat remained, though the incident left the crowd unsettled and the game postponed.
Law enforcement response
Deputies emphasized that the priority was the safety of attendees, placing the venue under lockdown while they verified the situation, and they have not released further details pending an ongoing investigation.
