Hillsborough town hall temporarily closes amid police shooting investigation
HILLSBOROUGH, Calif. - The Hillsborough Town Hall will be closed until further notice to assist the town's police department after an officer was shot.
"The Town has decided to cancel the Emergency Preparedness Info Session previously scheduled for the evening of Monday, February 24th. We will look to find an alternative date to reschedule," town hall officials said.
Officials said the closure will provide the police department some space for more personnel.
It's unclear when the town hall will reopen.
The backstory
A police officer was shot during an 'ambush-style' attack Saturday afternoon in the rear parking lot of a police building.
A person of interest was interviewed in South San Francisco, the Hillsborough Police Department said.
Police officials said they believe the department was specifically targeted in the attack.
The shooting prompted a shelter-in-place order in Burlingame.

Immigration raids have shaken communities across Los Angeles County. How can you help?
If you are looking to support families that have been affected by the recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids as well as local immigrant communities in need, you have a number of donation options, including organizations that can accept monetary contributions, supplies and volunteer time. The ICE raids over the past several days have impacted several communities in Los Angeles County, including the city of Los Angeles, Paramount, Culver City and Boyle Heights. It's unclear exactly how many undocumented immigrants have been affected, but the White House said federal agents have arrested 330 immigrants in Southern California and the Central Coast since the onset of the raids on Friday. Among those deported during the raids was Jose Ortiz, who worked for Ambiance Apparel, a warehouse in Los Angeles' Fashion District, for the last 18 years. On Sunday, Jesus Cruz, 52, was detained while he was working as a cleaner at Westchester Hand Wash. Further up the coast, ICE agents had reportedly shown up at farm fields and packinghouses from the Central Coast to the San Joaquin Valley. The Department of Homeland Security released a list of nine men who the federal agency said were arrested and have serious criminal records. Since the raids began on Friday, several local and regional organizations began collecting funds and donated items to help those whose family members have been detained or already deported. The aid is also going to immigrant community members who live in fear of being swept up in future raids. This story will be updated as more organizations post their needs for support.
