A Compton neighborhood is locked down and a man with a shotgun is barricaded inside a building there after allegedly firing at Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies Thursday morning.

Newschopper 4 was over the scene, where a number of patrol cars were parked on the street and in a nearby parking lot.

According to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau, deputies were shot at, and the man is considered “an assault with a deadly weapon suspect.”

The deputies were not injured, according to the SIB.

They were initially responding to the building at 120 North Acacia Avenue due to reports of a gunshot victim.

The shots were fired at the deputies after they arrived to investigate the 7:14 a.m. call. The man was barricaded inside the building by 8 a.m.

Around 8:24 a.m., what appeared to be smoke began to emerge from the house.
