MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Manhattan Beach Police took a male resident into custody this morning after responding to a call of shots being fired in the El Porto area of North Manhattan Beach.

The incident took place in the 200 block of Shell Street near Ocean Drive. Upon arriving, police were told a resident had been seen waving a gun around. MBPD set up a perimeter and told the man to come out of his house, which he did.

PIO Ineguez said a shot was fired from inside the man's home that hit the home next door. No injuries occurred and the incident is not the result of an argument or domestic violence, he noted. CSI is processing the scene and police are still actively working the case. The man was booked.
