Man Allegedly Holding 2 at Gunpoint Arrested

A man who held his wife and another man at the point of a shotgun inside his Sun Valley house was being booked Tuesday morning on suspicion of kidnapping, police said.

The man, who is in his early 30s, surrendered as soon as police arrived at the house at 8803 Omelveny Avenue just before 11 p.m. Monday, said Sgt. Scott Kennedy of the Los Angeles Police Department's Foothill Station.

The suspect, his wife and another man who lives in the home were the only ones in the house, Kennedy said.

A shotgun was recovered at the scene, he said. What prompted the incident was not immediately clear.
