A suspect who allegedly pointed a firearm at a man and woman in another vehicle barricaded himself inside a Long Beach garage for about three hours Saturday.<\/p>\n
Officers originally responded to a call of a person with a firearm at 6:18 p.m. Saturday in the 500 block of Orange Avenue, Long Beach Police Department Lt. Rogelio Q. Trias told City News Service.<\/p>\n
\u201cPreliminary investigation revealed during a verbal dispute between motorists, one subject pointed a firearm at the other party,\u201d Trias said. \u201cThe suspect fled the area prior to officers arriving on scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
Officers located the man a short time later in the 1400 block of East Ninth Street, he said. He barricaded himself inside a garage.<\/p>\n
Officers and a Mental Evaluation Team clinician worked to communicate with the suspect while other officers surrounded the garage. He was taken into custody after about three hours, Trias said.<\/p>\n
The investigation continued, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A suspect who allegedly pointed a firearm at a man and woman in another vehicle barricaded himself inside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1051,41668,4494,174,14913,131,133,132,29050,81150],"class_list":["post-169044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-allegedly","tag-armed","tag-barricades","tag-beach","tag-garage","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-motorist","tag-self"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
