Suspect Shoots Man, Barricades Himself In Long Beach Home: Police

LONG BEACH, CA — A man accused of shooting another man in Long Beach and then barricading himself inside a home was arrested Thursday night, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

Officers were called to the 1600 block of Linden Avenue just before 5:30 p.m., where they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower body. The preliminary investigation revealed the victim and another man got into an argument when the suspect shot the victim and drove away to a home near the 2000 block of Chestnut Avenue, police said.

Officers created a perimeter and unsuccessfully attempted to coax the suspect out of the residence. A SWAT team then responded to the scene in an effort to deescalate the situation. The suspect surrendered and was taken into custody, police said.

Paramedics treated the victim for his injury at the scene, police said.
