The SAPD has responded this afternoon to a vacant, dilapidated office building that has been a hangout for the homeless, at 1441 E. 17th St., in Santa Ana.

The property has apparently been purchased by a local Hispanic church.

A neighbor tells us that the pastor of that church had been allowing homeless people to stay at the property, outside the building.

More details to come if this situation escalates.

Update – a commenter on Nextdoor has reported that there was a stabbing and a possible murder.
