A man who barricaded himself inside a home in Long Beach after he fired a gun as officers responded to reports of an assault, prompting officers to fire their weapons, was in custody Thursday morning.
Officers responded about 11:05 p.m. Wednesday to the 100 block of West 52nd Street and found a man who said the suspect had pointed a gun at him during an argument, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Additional officers in the area spotted the suspect, who fired a weapon. The officers believed they were being shot at and fired their weapons, but no one was hit, the department said.
The man retreated into a house and a SWAT team was called to the scene, police said.
A short time later, the man walked out of the home and surrendered, the department said. His name was not disclosed.
No officers or people were injured.
