Brawl at Del Amo Fashion Center draws massive police presence
A large brawl drew a massive police presence at Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance on Sunday, with officers from multiple agencies responding to the scene.
At around 4 p.m., Torrance Police Department officers were called to the shopping center, located in the 3500 block of Carson Street, for calls of a "large group of juveniles who are fighting amongst themselves."
Officers with Torrance, Gardena, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and Los Angeles Police Departments were on scene, along with deputies from Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"Due to the size of the crowd of juveniles, Torrance is being assisted by neighboring police departments," said a Torrance police spokesperson.
Investigators are also looking into reports of gunfire during the brawl. One witness has told officers that at least one gun shot was fired.
No injuries have yet been reported as officers attempt to clear the juveniles off the property.
Businesses were not ordered to close by law enforcement, but some establishments did opt to lock their doors while the incident was ongoing.
With SkyCal overhead, officers could be seen standing in skirmish lines around the shopping center.
