Police arrived at the scene of a gunfight in Azusa, California, this Tuesday, November 8 election day in the United States.

The incident was reported at 2:40 pm on West Fourth Street and North Orange Avenue, officials said. Aerial imagery showed firefighters installing red, yellow, and green tarps on the streets while members of a SWAT team began evacuation work in the neighborhood. A helicopter from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department must have transferred an injured person to the hospital. One of the people on the scene, Elizabeth Hopkinson, said she and her 9-month-old son were locked up at Slauson Middle School, very close to the polling place.
