“Sources tell THR the incident took place near the filming location of ABC’s police drama ‘The Rookie’, starring Nathan Fillion as an LAPD officer,” noted THR. “The shooting took place as ‘The Rookie’ was changing locations. The production broke early and was in the midst of moving to a different location — away from where the incident occurred — when the shooting took place. The crew took shelter until police arrived on the scene.”
TMZ offered further detail, reporting that the show was filming on location outside Los Angeles Center Studios near downtown L.A. when “someone ran by on foot and fired three shots that hit a building near the set location.”
Meanwhile, Deadline reported that the production left the area following the incident, and that the series will be filming at another location on Thursday night.
ET Canada has reached out to ABC for comment.
