A shooting suspect arrested after a 2 1/2 hour standoff with sheriff's deputies was identified Monday as Christopher Gosalves, 37, of Carson.

Gosalves barricaded himself in his home with his family about 5 p.m. in the 100 block of West 220th Street, deputies said.

Carson sheriff's Sgt. Barry Shapiro said Gosalves got into an argument with another man and shot at him before running into the house.

A sheriff's special weapons team surrounded the house. Gosalves surrendered about 7:30 p.m. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a firearm.
