When police arrived at the scene, Lloyd was “being subdued by another male inside the facility,” who police identified only as an instructor at the gym.

“In order to protect himself, the instructor used martial arts techniques to control and subdue the suspect until police arrived,” a statement obtained by PEOPLE reads. “It was learned the suspect was in fact armed with a loaded handgun, which was inside the messenger bag.” No shots were fired within the gym.

Lloyd was transported to a hospital for injuries he sustained from his altercation with the gym instructor. He continues to be treated.
