“One of the six occupants, after observing the locking mechanism being breached and having had no verbal contact with the person outside the door, developed a well-founded fear for themselves and the other occupants of the apartment including several children,” LCPD said in a statement.Police say all individuals inside the apartment cooperated with investigating officers. The victim declined to press charges.
