A suspect armed with a fire extinguisher went a little wild inside a Canoga Park community center Wednesday.
The man was described as behaving "out of control" and using the fire extinguisher to smash objects around the facility, according to KTLA.
Authorities arrived at the scene in response to reports of "shots fired," however there was no gun--just the fire extinguisher.
Some people inside the community center may have sustained injuries in the incident, however there has been no official word on whether anyone was seriously hurt.
The man was taken into custody, and was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
