Culver City police Monday were working to take a man into custody who was thought to be armed and barricaded.
Residents were urged to stay away from the 4000 block of Lincoln Avenue beginning about 9 a.m. Monday, according to the Culver City Police Department.
About an hour afterward, the police department reported that a police drone was being used by officers as part of their efforts to bring incident to a safe conclusion.
The standoff was continuing after 11 a.m., police said.
