The suspect, whose name has yet to be release, was later apprehended with no weapon. Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern was also in the building at the time of the lockdown.
Apparently suspect apprehended, and we are being allowed to leave building. Netflix staff, internal security and first responders have been superb.
