Man with gun barricades himself in San Pedro residence

here we go again. we just had one a few weeks ago. san pedro is having to much crime let's clean it up H.D.L.A.P.D. THIS NEED'S TO STOP.

I live down the street. This is still going on. I don't hear helicopters, but the bomb squad is on the premises now. Anyone have anymore info?

My husband, daughter, and I were there as the police set up the yellow tape and pulled out their guns. We had went to buy sandwiches at Busy Bee and found ourselves surrounded by over ten police cars. I heard them say that the man's parents were there with the police. Luckily we got our sandwiches and left before witnessing anything.

I just got home from visiting the natural history museum and took a nap when i got woken up by sirens at about 5pm. I saw so many undercover cars and about 4 swat tanks.. What is going on that this is all needed???

To Kevin,
The LAPD does not have control over freaks holding themselves up in their homes with a gun. It starts with the person not the LAPD. They do their best to see that the innocent people are not harmed. You should be thanking them for doing a great job in capturing these freaks who cause this mess in the first place.

Oh no!! Rufus has escaped and is hiding again! Hey Dufus (I sorry, I meant Rufus) we'll see you at the Bloody Thursday Picnic. Don't be late. Oh, and don't forget to bring you gun!

what a piece of crap! people could not even go to their homes on a friday after work because of this person. I hope all the cops got their busy bee sandwiches waiting for this piece of shit to surrender! Swat should have closed in and taken this asshole out! No exceptions !

what's the panic police have it under control...you looking for a bail out....pedro is dense with all kinds......

I was witness to this lunatic all day until 11PM. I m glad no innocent people got hurt and the police and firedept. were doing their jobs. The helicopter flying overhead was loud.

to san pedro resident thanks for your response what i meant to say was i am tired of the crime that is happening here drugs/robbery/ etc. a good friend of mine was robbed at gun point right out side his home on 5th street. but thanks for statement here very good point. thanks kevin

So whats the latest update?? I didn't catch anything on the daily breeze.. Pedro is getting crazy.. Pray for our city.

To Kevin,
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. But you're right about the other crimes going on in our city. It's a shame for our children who can't even walk home from school with these preditors roaming around as well as the kids having access to guns. Unfortunately, this is not just happening in SP. It's all around us. Will it ever stop? Probably not, but our law enforcement has their hands full. Let's just pray that someday we will see peace in our city once again.

They finally caught the idiot after throwing teargas into his parents home. I hope they take him away and throw away the key, after they make him pay for what this cost the city in police and emergency usage. Most of us are going through stress but we dont take it out on innocent people. It angers me alot.

Grow up people, its the world we live in! Not all humans can comprehend whats right and whats wrong....you think he did it on purpose so you couldnt get your busy bee sandwich? Get a life. Crime is everywhere, even in PV, thou may not be as much, its still there. Im sure you are all aware of SanPedros crime rate...if you cant handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
