Police are still on the hunt for one of two men involved in a shootout with officers during a traffic stop Thursday.
Officials thought they had tracked the suspect to a home in Sylmar, and surrounded the residence with SWAT teams about 7 p.m. Friday, but no one was found inside, said Los Angeles police spokesman Officer Sara Faden.
The events leading to the SWAT call began about 11:45 p.m. Thursday, when police were following a vehicle in Sylmar near Glenoaks Boulevard and Hubbard Street because they suspected the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Faden said.
As police followed, the suspect car crashed and two men got out of the car and "started shooting at the officers," said Faden, adding that the officers returned fire but no one was hit.
The two men ran into the residential neighborhood, and one was arrested when police set up a perimeter search, according to an officer from the LAPD's Mission Station.
No description of the second man was available Saturday.
