A man was taken into custody after allegedly shooting and killing a woman inside a home in Anaheim, police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The deadly gunfire unfolded in a neighborhood right next to the 91 Freeway, which was temporarily shut down in both directions at Brookhurst Street around 4 a.m. Initial reports indicated there was an active shooter, but the Anaheim Police Department later said that wasn’t the case.<\/p>\n
Neighbors in the area said they heard a woman screaming before hearing dozens of gunshots go off.<\/p>\n
Police said the shooting stemmed from some sort of domestic dispute. The suspect was described as a 38-year-old man who was dating the woman he allegedly killed.<\/p>\n
There were five other adults inside of the home when it happened, police added. They apparently hid inside and called 911.<\/p>\n
Police said it took about 45 minutes to get the suspect in custody and that there was a minor use of force.<\/p>\n
Once officers got inside the home, they found a firearm in the front yard and the woman dead inside the garage. She has not been identified.<\/p>\n
The neighbor next door told Eyewitness News he had just spoken with the woman around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, saying she appeared happy and introduced the suspect as her boyfriend.<\/p>\n
Just a few hours later came the barrage of bullets. Several of them went through the neighbor’s walls, prompting him and his family to take cover.<\/p>\n
“I woke up. I came out and the whole family inside here was startled, you know.. and then we kept hearing a little more shots. And so then that’s when we all just gathered in our living room, just laid down on the floor. And I mean it was pretty terrifying because then we heard more gunshots,” he said.<\/p>\n
Anaheim police checked their records and said they’ve had no prior contact with the suspect.<\/p>\n
Investigators are working to learn more about a possible motive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was taken into custody after allegedly shooting and killing a woman inside a home in Anaheim,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,135393],"class_list":["post-325391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-deadly-gunfire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325391","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=325391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
