South Pasadena police officers rushed to the scene of a fatal shooting on Friday at a Chinese publication in Alhambra according to a SPPD dispatcher.
Assisting authorities already on the scene, the SPPD sent eight units to 2121 W. Mission Road at approximately 9:30 AM following reports of an active shooter at the China Press in Alhambra.
A man was reported shot and killed. While police say there appears to be one shooter, who was captured and arrested, several individuals were detained.
South Pasadena police assisted Alhambra officials, who responded to a 911 call from a man who said he was shot at the address for the Chinese publication.
“There’s no evidence of any other victims at this time or any other episodes of violence,” Alhambra police Sgt. Steven Carr told the San Gabriel Tribune. “This appears to be a case of workplace violence. We’re investigating the potential of a disgruntled employee versus co-worker.”
