A man who allegedly threatened people with a gun Friday night continues to be barricaded inside an apartment in Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
A man who lives in the apartment allegedly pointed a gun at two people at 1540 Vine St. and police responded about 10:35 p.m. Friday.
The apartment was evacuated and officers have tried to contact the man, but he has not responded.
“We’re confident and comfortable that he is isolated inside his apartment, alone,” Capt. Cory Palka told KTLA. “We’re using the appropriate tools and resources to bring him out.”
No shots have been heard and no one has been injured, officials said.
Palka said LAPD officials are familiar with the man and have responded to incidents at the apartment before.
The man is described as being 50 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall with gray hair and blue eyes.
