Brock Bunge was arrested around 6:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 9, and booked on suspicion of several felony charges, including attempted murder, robbery, and felon in possession of a firearm, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
The incident began Thursday, when Lancaster sheriff’s deputies responded to a home on the 2100 block of West Avenue K-12 regarding a domestic disturbance.
“The female victim stated she had an argument with her ex-boyfriend, suspect Brock Bunge of Lancaster, and he left the scene prior to the responding deputy’s arrival,” the news release states.
“A short time later, suspect Bunge returned to the same house with a firearm and shot at his ex-girlfriend’s house then drove away,” the news release states.
Some time later, Bunge was allegedly involved in a two-vehicle traffic collision on 90th Street West, just north of Avenue K, sheriff’s officials said.
“The victims reported that the suspect pointed a shotgun at them as they initially attempted to render aid at the scene of the traffic collision,” the sheriff’s news release states. “It was later determined that the other party in the collision was also assaulted by the suspect and had his cellphone and other personal property taken from him.”
The driver was attacked after he rear-ended Bunge’s pickup truck, which was stopped on 90th Street West with its lights off, according to a friend of the driver. When the driver tried to flee the attack, a shot was fired in his direction, the friend said. This account could not be confirmed with sheriff’s officials.
“The armed suspect fled into nearby desert acreage and attempted to hide from deputies,” the sheriff’s news release states.
“Additional resources responded, which included the Crisis Negotiation Team, an airship, Arson/Explosives, and a team from Special Enforcement Bureau,” the sheriff’s news release states.
After a standoff that lasted more than seven hours, Bunge was taken into custody without incident.

Never a dull moment in Lancaster. I’m so glad we’ve got LEAPS protecting us overhead. It’s the best $90,000 dollar a month investment ever made. Cities across the land are kicking themselves for not buying their own LEAPS.
Jg says
This guy is my ex brother in law. My sister had to get a restraining order even after she divorced him. I saw this coming eventually.
Rego says
Brock what were you thinking man
Hope this gets sorted out for the best of both of you
Got to let it go
The “Dog Walkerer”
Robert says
He was a tweaking time bomb that lived next to my sisters house, they shared a driveway and a barn. The SWAT team cam and evacuated her family because this nut job dug a hole out in the desert and was lying in it armed and waiting to ambush someone else. By the way it wasn’t his girlfriend it was his ex, some people just can’t let go.
Marla says
Yes I was married to him for 10 years glad I got away safe.
brittany guy says
He was a sick twisted freak who molested me he deserves every bit of what happened to him I hope he rots in that prison cell. My mother was married to him but still kept in contact with him after what he did to me. Karma is a bitch. I’m at peace knowing he will be in there for a while.
not perfect says
*the girlfriend had a restraining order against him and she is the one that called the sheriff’s
*this is unfortunate result of drugs -the man does need to go to prison for his actions but also needs help for his addictions
* I hope that the people he assaulted are going to be okay and will find help to put this behind them.
* to the girlfriend -this had to be hard for you as well, you once loved this person- be strong know you did the right thing becoming his ex girlfriend instead of his dead girlfriend
Marla says
I did the same. I was his wife for 10 years, was not easy getting away but glad I did
Marisa says
Niece to Brock. Marla stop saying anything about my uncle everytime you came back to California you were hitting him up to see him, when you knew he had a gf. You cheated on him and he left you. So don’t play a victim.
Be equal says
White trash Section 8 at its finest
Dauntless says
He is a desperate nut job. Never underestimate a desperate person, who may feel like they have nothing left to lose.
Karen says
That’s why It’s best to be a hermit and single.
Ethen says
What a nut job! He needs a mental hospital.
Karen says
No he needs prison
Rego says
Met the guy on several occasions while walking with dogs at said location.
He seemed very personable and didn’t appear to be unstable.
Hope the courts can figure that out and maybe why he snapped.
This was all of course prior to the couples trouble that developed.
So Karen every book has a cover to it.
Grorge says
Now here a perfect example of a stupid deranged individual, that needs to be put away for years but his girl friend won’t press charges ,later just Cry’s wolf and the others that are involved may not too but the law enforcement will but he will get less time,
