LANCASTER – An armed man who barricaded himself in a house in Lancaster Thursday morning was taken into custody after setting the residence on fire.
The incident was reported around 9:40a.m. Thursday, July 29, on the 44600 Block of 4th Street East, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Lancaster Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the scene, and then summoned a Special Weapons Team.
Crisis negotiators worked to contact the man, who was wanted on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
He was eventually taken into custody early Thursday afternoon, according to the sheriff’s department. The suspect’s name was not immediately available.
No further information on the incident was released by the sheriff’s department.
In Custody says
Brain fog.
DAVID LOPEZ says
LET ME TAKE A SHOT AT THIS STORY HE BURNED A HOUSE DOWN THAT DID NOT BELONG TO HIM BECAUSE HE WAS ON “Public Housing and Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)” RIGHT!
Lorie says
I’m sure. If I were the owner, I’d file a lawsuit against the county housing authority and HUD.
Then again, if he hadn’t have rented to Section 8 in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.
Tim Scott says
They don’t know for sure. They don’t know AT ALL. They are just having a knee jerk conservative reaction and talking out their butts.
Welcome to one of the last bastions of conservativism and outright ignorance in California…the Antelope Valley.
Ana Barrios says
It was so scary I really thought he was gonna killed us
Tim Scott says
Glad you got through it.
I suggest finding a good counselor to give some guidance on how to process this. Hardly anyone is really prepared to deal with that kind of experience, and there is no shame whatever in getting some help.
Barricade says
A result of the clot shot…
Tim Scott says
Maybe the dumbest comment ever? Nah. Competitive though for sure.
Matt says
