Two women were injured in a shooting at a day care in northwest Los Angeles, including one who sustained a gunshot wound, according to officials and local media. No children were injured in the incident.

According to Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the shooting occurred at a day care in the 17300 block of Firma Court, in the Granada Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.

While officials have not confirmed the exact location, the Kids Dream Learning Center, a day care facility operating out of a repurposed home, is located on that block. The center is situated near Robert Frost Middle School.

KABC reported that paramedics placed two women into ambulances at the scene and transported them to nearby hospitals, though police stated that there was only one shooting victim. Her condition has not been disclosed.

The suspect was found in a Tesla near Balboa Boulevard and Sherman Way in the Lake Balboa area, close to Van Nuys Airport, and was taken into custody, according to the LAPD. The suspect’s identity and any connection to the day care or the victim have not been released.

Granada Hills is a suburban community located in the northern section of Los Angeles, approximately 30 miles northwest of downtown. It is part of the larger San Fernando Valley.
