Authorities engaged in an armed standoff with an elderly Woodland Hills woman tried tear gas, a flash grenade and a crisis negotiator. When they sent a robot to slowly approach her, she shot at it. 
But finally, after 22 hours, the woman who had held a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department SWAT team at bay outside her mobile home since early Thursday was taken into custody.
Sometime overnight the woman, whose name and age have not been released, crawled underneath her home, officials said. At about 3:30 a.m. on Friday, SWAT team members pulled her out, they said.
“It’s very unusual, but we’re just happy that we’re able to bring this to a peaceful resolution,” said Lt. A.J. Rotella of the Sheriff’s Department's Malibu station. “No one wants to see an elderly woman, for whatever reason she acted this way, no one wanted to see her get seriously hurt.”

The incident began when deputies went to the mobile home park in the 4200 block of Topanga Canyon Boulevard about 5:30 a.m. Thursday
