Please stay out of the area, and if you live in the adjoining neighborhoods, stay inside with your doors and windows secured."
It is pertinent to mention here that details on what may have triggered the riot were not immediately released. It is pertinent to mention here that a few days back, a gun was found in Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall days after L.A. County announced youth transfers. Notably, the gun was found on site just days after youths moved in and the poor conditions witnessed by visitors. The poor conditions and latest discovery hinted that the move hasn’t resolved many of the deficiencies of the Juvenile Hall that forced the state to shutter Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar and Central Juvenile Hall in Lincoln Heights.
