Four people were detained following reports of a shooting outside Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles Thursday night.
Los Angeles police responded to the 100 block of South Grand Avenue where witnesses reportedly heard gunshots at around 5 p.m.
A graduation ceremony was being held at the concert hall for over 100 L.A. County high school graduates, including 29 students who were currently detained youth on probation.
At the end of the ceremony, a person suddenly leaped over a second-story balcony and assaulted one of the teen graduates, authorities said.
Officers responding to the scene discovered a brawl outside the concert hall involving several suspects. Four people were detained during the incident.
Investigating officers said several bullet shell casings were discovered in the area. It’s unclear what prompted the fight.
