Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN MARINO – A San Gabriel man was finally taken into custody early Thursday after keeping children and their grandmother hostage inside a home. Several hostages were successfully rescued by Sheriff’s deputies assisting with negotiations after the suspect refused to free them. The barricaded suspect exited the home around 3 a.m. after hours of negotiations and was taken down by a K9 after refusing commands, San Marino Police said. The suspect, John Gabriel, began arguing with family of his estranged wife in the 2100 block of Sherwood Road around 10:30 p.m. September 11. Gabriel then brandished a handgun, according to Detective K. Cordischi of the San Marino Police Department. Officers arrived and several residents fled the home, leaving a grandmother and several children inside, Cordischi said.
The grandmother and children were reportedly barricaded in a room on the second floor of a home, according to San Marino Police radio traffic. Police departments from Pasadena, San Gabriel and other agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Bureau, worked to bring the barricade to a peaceful end, but Gabriel refused to comply with pleas to surrender. Gabriel was hospitalized with injuries sustained from the K9. |
