A Los Angeles Times reporter, Andrea Castillo, shared on Twitter that she saw Housley visit the Los Robles Regional Medical Center looking for his niece.

"A guard didn’t let him through, saying it was on lockdown. He said Alaina, a Pepperdine freshman, was at the bar with several friends. Her Apple Watch and iPhone still showed her location on the dance floor," Castillo wrote.

Housley told the L.A. Times earlier today that he feared the worst.

"My gut is saying she’s inside the bar, dead,” he said. “I’m hoping I’m wrong."

Twelve people, including a sheriff's sergeant, were killed in a shooting in a crowded bar in Thousand Oaks, California, late Wednesday night.
