Los Angeles police SWAT officers fired tear gas into a Wilmington apartment, where a man was holed up for nearly seven hours early Friday until he surrendered.
Adrian Zuniga, 23, of Harbor City, was taken into custody about 1 a.m. and booked on a charge of spousal abuse, said Lt. John Pasquariello of the LAPD Harbor Division.
The incident took place at an apartment on the 24500 block of South Avalon Boulevard after a woman called police about 6:30 p.m. Thursday to say the father of her children had broken into their apartment.
“Mom was able to escape with her kids. She called police and he refused to come out,” Pasquariello said.
Police arrived and eventually a SWAT team was called in. Neighbors were evacuated from nearby apartments.
After several hours, police lobbed tear gas into the apartment. Zuniga gave himself up and was arrested. No one was hurt.
