Burbank police issued a statement saying they are aware of the media reports, but the agency"did not respond to the incident, were not requested, nor do we have any information about what took place, or injuries sustained." According to People magazine, Leno was scheduled to perform at a financial conference in Las Vegas Sunday night.
