after the people inside barricaded themselves in an hours-long stand-off.
One individual barricaded himself on the roof, refusing to come down. The SWAT team assisted by coaxing the man down from the roof, and he was arrested without further incident.
Officers used a specific sort of gas to evacuate the occupants inside the home. According to an unnamed witness, the homeowner is a well-known music producer.
According to Detective Meghan Aguilar of the LAPD, “They [the police] were there to serve a search warrant on a residence and to look for an assault with a deadly weapon suspect who they believed to be at the residence. There is one male that came out. He does reside there. He is not the ADW suspect but is being detained pending the service of the search warrant.”
