Update: No update yet on El Segundo shootings
Got some sleep and checked in at 8:30 with the Sheriff's Department's information bureau, which has taken over providing information to the media on what happened last night at the Pacific theaters.
This is an officer-involved shooting with a death, so the Sheriff's Department's homicide bureau is handling the investigation instead of El Segundo.
I was told the info bureau is working on putting together a statement with updated details, but its computer system went down and deputies cannot provide anything immediately.
As soon as we get some new info, such as the conditions of the officers, we'll put it here.
So far, law enforcement's ability to get real information out to the public about this event -- either at the scene or now -- has been poor at best.
