Gunman in custody
A man who barricaded himself inside a Winnetka home, then killed an LAPD SWAT team officer and injured another, is in custody, according to TV reports.
The standoff began at 9 p.m. Wednesday when the unidentified man called police and told them he had killed three of his relatives.
Several SWAT team members entered the home just after midnight and a shootout between the man and police ensued.
LAPD Officer Randy Simmons, 51, was killed. Officer James Veenstra, 51, was critically wounded, police said.
The man barricaded himself inside the home through this morning.
He is now in custody, but it's still unclear whether the gunman killed three relatives. Two covered bodies, however could be seen from news helicopter footage.
