2 possibly armed men seen near USC campus

Two men were seen Friday night possibly carrying guns in USC's Cardinal Gardens parking lot, the USC Department of Public Safety said.

Residents were asked to stay inside their apartment and call campus security if they saw anything suspicious at 213-740-4321 or 213-740-6000.

The LAPD joined the investigation. The Cardinal Gardens apartments are located at 3131 McClintock Ave.

At about 9:40 p.m., the LAPD concluded its investigation of those two possibly armed men reportedly seen in the Cardinal Gardens parking lot and found the report to be unfounded.

The area is safe again, the LAPD said.

No further details were immediately known.
