An explosion at the Biscailuz Center Academy Training facility in East Los Angeles resulted in the tragic deaths of three police officers on Friday morning around 07:30 local time. Initial response efforts commenced rapidly, with local officials confirming the fatality count.

The explosion took place in a parking lot associated with the Special Enforcement Bureau within the training center, according to details shared by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD).
