KTLA-TV reports the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a 911 call on 11th Street in Hermosa Beach around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. KTLA reports a witness says neighbors heard an argument and saw a man with a gun go into the two-story home and refuse to surrender to police who arrived at the scene. A garage at the home caught fire shortly before 5 p.m. Hermosa Beach Police Chief Paul LeBaron says that at 9 p.m. police believed the suspect was still alive inside the home.
