An explosion at a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department training facility has reportedly claimed the lives of three deputies, according to local media reports on Friday. However, officials have not yet confirmed any casualties.
A spokesperson for the department said the explosion occurred at the Biscailuz Center Academy Training facility in East Los Angeles. The cause of the blast remains under investigation, and authorities have so far declined to confirm any fatalities or injuries.
The Los Angeles Times, citing unnamed law enforcement sources, reported that the incident happened while a bomb squad was handling explosives, resulting in the deaths of three deputies.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis expressed condolences in a written statement, saying, “My heart goes out to the families, friends, and colleagues of the three individuals who lost their lives in what appears to have been a devastating explosion.”
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi also addressed the incident, stating on social media that she had spoken with Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna and U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli. She referred to the event as “a horrific incident that killed at least three at a law enforcement training facility in Los Angeles.”
Bondi added that federal agents were present at the scene and actively working to gather more information as the investigation continues.
