Police officials do not yet know whether the victims were passengers on the planes, or whether they were employees of the building at which the plane crashed, a police officer said to KTLA.

The broadcasted television showed the building having a big hole at the middle of the roof with smoke emanating from it.

"All we hear is like a loud noise, boom, and that's it. Then we started running out" of the building, Jerome Cruz, one of the workers who witnessed the scene, reported.

The plane was a single-engine Van’s RV-10, a very small type of aircaft, which has four seats, said the FAA, which is now conducting an investigation.
