A burglary suspect confronted by an armed homeowner was held at gunpoint until police arrived in Arcadia Sunday night.
Police responded to the residential burglary call in the 400 block of Walnut Avenue in the San Gabriel Valley shortly before midnight.
Investigators learned that several suspects exited the residence and were confronted by the homeowners as they waited for officers outside, a spokesperson from the Arcadia Police Department told KTLA.
One homeowner fired a gun into the air when a fight broke out between one of the suspects and another homeowner, the spokesperson said.
The homeowners then kept the suspect from fleeing until officers arrived.
That suspect, and three others who fled the scene in a vehicle, were all detained in connection with the incident, police said.
Police said no one was injured by the gunfire.
Paramedics treated the homeowner who was involved in the fight for minor injuries.
Video showed the suspect being transported by ambulance for further evaluation.
