Armed domestic violence suspect barricaded inside Compton home

An armed domestic violence suspect is barricaded inside of a Compton home, prompting an hours-long standoff with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies. 

The barricade began at around 5 p.m. on Wednesday at a home in the 400 block of N. Rose Avenue, when deputies were dispatched to area, according to a statement from LASD. 

It remains unclear why the suspect barricaded in the first place. 

With SkyCal overhead, personnel from LASD's Special Enforcement Bureau could be seen outside of the two-story home. 

Anyone with further information is urged to contact LASD at (310) 605-6500.
