A man fired off shotgun blasts in his condominium in Huntington Beach Wednesday morning, striking neighboring units, but no injuries were reported, police said.
Huntington Beach police responded at about 6:25 a.m. Wednesday to a condominium complex near Pacific Coast Highway and Coral Cay to investigate a shots-fired call.
“Officers arrived on scene and determined that a resident had discharged a shotgun multiple times inside his residence, striking several neighboring units,” according to a Huntington Beach Police Department news release. “The area was immediately contained, and officers evacuated several nearby residents out of an abundance of caution.”
Pacific Coast Highway was temporarily shut down in both directions during the incident.
At approximately 7:50 a.m., 56-year-old Eric Frembgen peacefully surrendered and was taken into custody, said Corbin Carson, a spokesman for the city’s police department.
Frembgen was booked on suspicion of negligent discharge of a firearm and was provided access to mental health resources, Carson said.
