LOS ANGELES — More than a dozen journalists and a dozen more residents and onlookers were gathered outside the Allen family’s house in Torrance, California, on Sunday morning.

It was a far quieter scene than the night before, when at one point over 100 journalists and curious people stood behind lines of yellow police tape at each end of the street. They were all angling for a view of what the FBI was doing at the Allen home, where agents arrived in unmarked cars and armored vehicles at 9:45 p.m. Saturday.

The commotion was very out of character for the area. A woman who lives on Gramercy Place, several doors down from the home, said it was “a safe neighborhood with families where our kids play together, and we walk our dog every morning and night.”

The 43-year-old neighbor, who said her first name was Bora but declined to give her last name, chatted with nearby homeowners whom she encountered on a walk Sunday morning with her husband, young daughter, their dog and a friend of her daughter’s.

“Last night, it was loud until after midnight,” she told The Times. “Helicopters were overhead, and people were out all night.”

Bora added that she and her family often waved to the home’s residents on their twice-daily walks:

“They are very friendly,” she said. “Nothing special, just normal.”
