Man arrested after rooftop standoff

LOS ANGELES >> A man surrendered to law enforcement after he was spotted with a gun on the roof of a house in a Los Angeles suburb before dawn on Monday, authorities said.

Deputies responded around 5 a.m. after residents reported gunshots in the Walnut Park area south of downtown Los Angeles.

Aerial footage from KTLA-TV showed a man lying on his back on the rooftop and what appeared to be a weapon on the front lawn.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s Special Enforcement Bureau deputies were a short distance away behind an armored vehicle.
