SoCal SWAT Shooting

"SWAT team kills father in standoff

LYNWOOD - A SWAT team member killed a man who allegedly wounded the mother of his 2-year-old daughter and then held the girl hostage at his home in Lynwood, Los Angeles County officers said. The toddler was not harmed in the standoff, which ended late Sunday when Gerrardo Arvallo, 32, was shot (AP)."

Just wondering if he is an illegal or not, readers.

The BG sure as hell won't say.


"SWAT team kills SoCal man, rescues his daughter

LYNWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Deputies believed the child was in imminent danger and fired a single shot that killed Arvallo when he was not near the child, authorities said.

Byron Ward said the SWAT team entered the house to save the girl, but he did not know whether Arvallo was shot before or after the team entered.

How could it be before unless it was a sniper?

And if so, why aren't the cops telling us that?

--more--"

So I keep digging:

"Lynwood Barricade Suspect Killed, 2-Year-Old Hostage Rescued

Lynwood -- A man who shot his common-law wife and held their 2-year-old daughter hostage in their Lynwood home was shot to death by a sheriff's SWAT team that stormed into the residence and rescued the toddler, authorities said Monday.

When deputies arrived, they found a wounded woman, identified as Laura Sibrian, 29, "who had been shot in the abdomen by her common-law husband, Gerrardo Arvallo, 32," Ward said in a statement."

That's all I could find, readers.

So is he an illegal or what?
