A massive police presence, including SWAT teams and the bomb squad swarmed a Chatsworth neighborhood Sunday morning, officials confirmed to KTLA.
Details are limited and it’s unclear exactly how the incident unfolded, but according to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to an initial domestic violence call in the 10100 block of Mason Avenue just after 10 a.m.
An alleged “suspicious item” was found at the scene, police told KTLA, prompting the response of both SWAT teams, at least one K9 unit, the bomb squad and a police drone.

In photos of the scene posted to the Citizen app, a large portion of the street was cordoned off with yellow tape while groups of heavily armed police officers gathered in the area, staging, at least partially, in front of a home and in an alleyway behind several homes.
It is unclear if any shots or less-than-lethal munitions were fired, but authorities say a male suspect was taken into custody at around 2:30 p.m. for violating a restraining order.
In a 6 p.m. update, authorities also said the suspicious item had been cleared, adding that no evidence of hazardous materials were located.
No additional details, including the identity of the suspect, were provided about the incident.
