A tense standoff in Commerce came to an end early Tuesday when a suspect accused of shooting at Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies while barricaded inside a vehicle was taken into custody, the authorities confirmed.
The ordeal began Monday around 3:18 p.m. on the 2200 block of S. Atlantic Boulevard, prompting a response from the sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) and Crisis Negotiation Team they attempted for hours to negotiate a peaceful surrender. According to FOXLA, the suspect remained barricaded for several hours as the area was cordoned off.
Officials announced the arrest at about 4:45 a.m. the following day, lifting the shelter-in-place and allowing residents to return to their homes. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept Information Bureau posted an update that the SEB had concluded their tactical operations and the neighborhood was deemed safe again.
