Hollywood Blvd Breaking News: Masked Man Taken Into Custody After Allegedly Brandishing Fake Weapon

Police helicopter and blazing sirens of multiple LAPD vehicles let it be known that something was happening on the corner of Hollywood and Highland. After further investigation, several eye witnesses said that a man was brandishing a fake weapon. Some said it was a pellet gun. One bystander who didn't want to be videotaped said the police took apart the "fake" weapon and it had wires in it. The man was taken into custody. This comes the same day another shooting spree was reported at a Connecticut elementary school and a few days after another gunman went on a rampage at an Oregon mall so the police are not taken in chances with public safety.
