LONG BEACH, CA \u2014 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
“Preliminary investigation revealed during a verbal dispute between motorists, one subject pointed a firearm at the other party,” Trias said. “The suspect fled the area prior to officers arriving on scene.”<\/p>\n
