LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - A suspected gunman is in custody – but not before drawing an active-shooter response for allegedly spraying bullets from the rooftop of a Marina del Rey apartment building.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to a call of a shooting from the Marina 41 Apartments in the 4100 block of Via Marina around 10:15 p.m. Saturday night. According to LASD, the suspect was shooting at random from the apartment's rooftop.

Witnesses told police 30 to 50 or more rounds were fired, and that the shooter – identified by neighbors as Victory Nguyen – was armed with several firearms including AR-15 rifles and multiple pistols and ammunition. Jail records show that a Victoryloc Nguyen was booked early Sunday morning by deputies from the Marina del Rey station, and he was being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

According to a report from the City News Service, Nguyen was livestreaming the incident on social media.
