A man is in custody after allegedly breaking into a Sun Valley home Monday, exchanging gunfire with the homeowner and fleeing up a hillside near the residence.
Officers were dispatched at 7:55 a.m. Monday to a residence in the 10000 block of Olivia Terrace in response to an “assault with a deadly weapon, shots fired” call, according to Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Division.
A suspect had broken into the home and exchanged gunfire with the homeowner before fleeing the scene up a hillside above the location, Madison said.
Officers eventually arrested the suspect and an ambulance was called to the location because the suspect reported that he had trouble breathing, Madison said. His condition was not immediately known.
No further information was immediately available.
