The suspect was taken into custody with some self-inflicted knife wounds, though the severity of the injuries is not clear.
It’s been confirmed the suspect was an employee of the Paramount lot, police later revealed the name of the suspect as Bryan Gudiel Barrios, however, the nature of Barrios’ employment with Paramount has not been released.
The police then began negotiations with the suspect before eventually swarming the building just after midnight this morning.
