A 39-year-old man suspected of shooting his girlfriend was taken into custody Sunday after barricading himself inside a Tarzana apartment complex for 10 hours, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles police officers responded to an apparent domestic violence incident about 4 a.m. in the 18500 block of Hatteras Street and found a female victim with a gunshot wound, Officer Karen Rayner said. The officers were fired upon, but no one was hit. <\/p>\n
The woman, 40, was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was in serious condition.<\/p>\n
The man refused to come outside, and a SWAT team was called to the scene, Rayner said. About 1 p.m., officers were considering a tactical tool such as tear gas to draw out the gunman, who had spoken with a SWAT team negotiator. <\/p>\n
Less than an hour later, the suspect was taken into custody without incident. Officers did not fire their guns throughout the standoff.<\/p>\n
Residents of the complex and the surrounding area who were evacuated have been allowed to return to their homes.<\/p>\n
