There is an ongoing police standoff in Torrance, California, that is believed to be associated with the investigation into the Monterey Park shooting, a law enforcement source tells CNN.
Torrance is a city in Los Angeles County's South Bay region, located about 30 miles southwest of Monterey Park.
An employee at a store across the street from the standoff told CNN they were told to lockdown.
The employee said they have been on lockdown since around 11:45 a.m. local time, when a police officer came in and told them to remain inside. The employee said the entire shopping complex, which includes a PetSmart, Walmart and Hobby Lobby — in addition to other smaller stores — is locked down.
Customers and employees are currently hunkered down inside the store until they receive an all clear.
