LOS ANGELES, CA — A California congresswoman reported that her home was broken into on Saturday night and two firearms were stolen.

Rep. Karen Bass released a statement Saturday afternoon:

"Last night, I came home and discovered that my house had been broken into and burglarized," Bass wrote. "LAPD was called, and I appreciate their assistance. At this time, it appears that only two firearms, despite being safely and securely stored, were stolen. Cash, electronics and other valuables were not. It's unnerving and, unfortunately, it's something that far too many Angelenos have faced,"
