A standoff between a motorist and Los Angeles police is occurring at the Federal Building in Westwood. A law enforcement source told The Times the suspect allegedly made an unspecified threat against the White House and that the U.S. Secret Service was involved.

According to KTLA News, police are evacuating an apartment building near the Federal Building's parking lot as the result of the incident.

The incident began with a pursuit through parts of the Westside and ended at the federal building, where LAPD and UCLA police officers blocked the vehicle, KTLA reported.

Chopper footage showed numerous police vehicles parked at the federal building and in nearby side streets.

Details about the incident are still sketchy.

The Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Ruben de la Torre said the case involves a felony warrant and that one apartment house next to where the suspect's car is parked is being evacuated as a precaution.

People are crazy to make threats against the Whitehouse!
What does that accomplish?
What are they thinking? Are they serious?

Especially with all the gun shootings that have been in the news lately.
But those people have been single radicals and not part of a group.
It's scary because you don't know what sets them off.

Lately news is either crazies killing people or planes going down.

Then they say there are many more radical groups now too.
People are scared when government get all in their business like they are and especially now.

The government is suppose to be ours and not against it's own people ....
