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
