Man claiming to be a photographer caught trying to sneak gun into Biden event in Los Angeles



NORTH HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) — A man was detained Wednesday for allegedly carrying a weapon near a North Hollywood business where U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was scheduled to speak.

The man was detained around midday near Bobrick Washroom Equipment at 6901 Tujunga Avenue, according to Los Angeles police Sgt. Marlon Marrache.

The man “breached a zone” set up by police for Biden’s visit and was found to be in possession of a weapon, Marrache said.

CBS2/KCAL9’s Randy Paige reports a photographer hired by a company to shoot photos of the event was caught with a gun while going through a security sweep.

He was arrested and taken to the LAPD North Hollywood station for booking.
