WOODLAND HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — An hourslong scene involving a barricaded man in Woodland Hills escalated to a raging house fire and shots fired on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The standoff was unfolding in the 5000 block of Owensmouth Avenue, where Los Angeles police officers initially responded to a domestic violence call.<\/p>\n
Police say the suspect has been barricaded inside the home since 3:15 p.m. At one point, tear gas was deployed.<\/p>\n
AIR7 flew above the scene shortly after 11 p.m., where it appeared the home was fully engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n
The residence is part of a three-unit townhouse complex, and it appeared that the flames spread to the neighboring units. Police said nearby homes were evacuated.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the Los Angeles Fire Department reported that as crews battled the blaze, shots were being fired from the home.<\/p>\n
It was not clear if the suspect set the fire. Crews were focused on getting anyone inside out and extinguishing the flames.<\/p>\n
Police said a woman, believed to be the man’s wife, sustained injuries. Further details on her condition were not immediately available.<\/p>\n
Officers noted that the barricaded man is a registered gun owner, and guns are believed to be inside the residence.<\/p>\n
