Gunfire reportedly erupts at vandalized skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles 

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an investigation after gunshots were reportedly heard at an abandoned skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles that was recently graffitied

Initial reports indicate that officers responded to Oceanwide Plaza just after midnight after security guards called 911 to report a gun being discharged after an altercation. 

Bullet casings were found inside the building, police said, but no victims or suspects were located and no arrests were made. 

More than 25 stories of the defunct luxury development were tagged earlier this week; it is not known how the taggers accessed the site or when they began the daring and illegal project. 

Two men were arrested, cited and released in connection with the graffiti on Thursday, authorities announced.  

Construction on Oceanwide Plaza stalled in 2019 after the Beijing-based developer lacked the funds to complete it, according to the Los Angeles Times
