A suspected gunman was arrested and two women transported to hospitals after a shooting at a Granada Hills day care on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
Paramedics responded to a residence where a day care is located, at 17320 W. Firma Court, around 12:30 p.m., according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Lyndsey Lantz. The two women were taken to a hospital in stable condition, and the LAFD worked with the day care and L.A. police to reunite children with their parents, she said.
LAPD Capt. Kathleen Burns said that the shooting appeared to have been a targeted attack potentially motivated by “some type of family violence or domestic violence.”
It was not yet clear whether the shooting took place in proximity to any children.
When L.A. Police Department officers arrived at the scene, they found one person suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, according to a department spokesperson. No information was available on the second patient’s wounds, the spokesperson said.
The suspected gunman fled the scene in a Tesla, and officers found the vehicle and arrested him without incident near Balboa Boulevard and Sherman Way — about seven miles from the scene of the shooting, police said.
The weapon believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered, Burns said.
The site of the shooting, Kids Dream Learning Center, is in a residential area of Granada Hills and offers programs for infants, toddlers and preschool-age children from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, according to its website. A representative for the center confirmed Wednesday that no children were harmed but did not wish to comment further on the incident.
Although the shooting took place on the day care’s property, it was not immediately known whether it took place indoors or outdoors and what degree of danger children might have been exposed to, Lantz said.

Two people were transported to the hospital after a shooting near the Kids Dream Learning Center in Granada Hills on Tuesday afternoon.
Los Angeles Fire Department officials said that the victims, both women, were in stable condition and that no children were injured during the incident.
Investigators said the shooting started just after 12:30 p.m. at a daycare in the 17300 block of W. Firma Court, according to Los Angeles police. By the time they arrived, the alleged shooter had already fled the scene in a grey Tesla.
The suspect, who has not yet been named, was later taken into custody near Sherman Way and Balboa Boulevard, according to the LAPD Captain Kathleen Burns. She said that investigators believe the gunman had a connection to the two women shot, but did not provide further details.
Police said that they also recovered a shotgun when they took the suspect into custody.
Burns said there were children at the daycare when the shooting happened, but that they were not in the same room. Investigators believe the suspect used a shotgun.
Worried parents rushed to the daycare after learning of the shooting, where police were waiting to make sure the families were safely reunited.
"I'm just happy I'm with my kids, and all the families are with their kids, that's the most important," said one father.
The situation that led up to the shooting is not immediately known and investigators are still working to determine a motive.
CBS News Los Angeles learned that one hour prior to the shooting, one of the victims got a restraining order against the suspect.
"Clearly he was agitated during the hearing, but ... I couldn't pick up any signs that he would do something like this," said Ashley Leung, an attorney for one of the victims. "It's a very extreme reaction."
Leung said that a temporary restraining order was previously requested but denied by a judge.
"It's my belief that potentially had that one been granted, that maybe they would've been removed from his possession by this point," she said.
