It’s been anything but a happy Valentine’s Day for those who work at Netflix. On Thursday afternoon, the Los Angeles headquarters was put on lockdown and evacuated amid reports of a shooter.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, several posts on social media had surfaced reporting that they had seen a suspect on the roof of the building with an undisclosed weapon.

“We received a tip about a potential law enforcement incident,” Netflix said in a statement. “Police are conducting a sweep of the lot out of an abundance of caution. There is no immediate danger or threat to our employees.”
