HOLLYWOOD, CA -- A suspect has been taken into custody in connection with that report of a person with a gun at Sunset Bronson Studios in the 5800 block of West Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, according to reports from the scene.

Sunset Bronson, which is home both Netflix and local TV station KTLA, was placed on lockdown during the incident.
