Police are responding to a shooting at the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade after a security guard shot at a suspect
Witnesses said the sound of gunshots, which rang out about 11 a.m., sent people running in several directions throughout the busy shopping center. Some people hid in businesses, which were locked down in the chaos. Witnesses reported hearing at least two gunshots.
Santa Monica Boulevard is shut down from 2nd Street to the Promenade. Rodriguez said police are establishing a perimeter and no one has been arrested.Dan Wentzel was on a food tour with his colleagues from the American Jewish Committee in Santa Monica Friday morning when gunshots rang out. While standing on Santa Monica Boulevard, he saw a flood of people running away from the promenade.
“People were running for their lives. Scared running. Everyone is so wired from these active shooter scenes,” he said. He and his colleagues dashed into Dragon Herbs, a tea shop, and were briefly on a lockdown. They waited for about 10 minutes to see what would happen, and the shop soon opened back up, he said.
“We’re enjoying tea now, since we’re here. Nice, calming, soothing tea. Everything’s back to normal,” he said.
