HOLLYWOOD HILLS—On November 10, at approximately 8 a.m. deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arrived at the Hillpointe Luxury Apartments at 2330 Cahuenga Boulevard and Odin to serve an eviction notice to a 50-year-old man living in a second-story apartment facing the 101 Freeway.
According to LASD Sgt. Travis Morrow, deputies heard a single gunshot as they neared the building. A suspect barricaded himself in his apartment with multiple guns registered.
Deputies evacuated the apartment and requested assistance from California Highway Patrol, who shut down Cahuenga Boulevard and Freeway 101 in both directions.

Sheriff’s deputies declared the area safe, allowing tenants to return to their apartments and Freeway 101, and Cahuenga Boulevard were reopened to thru traffic.
