La Mirada deputies arrived about three minutes after the 1:13 a.m. 911 call of a shooting in the 14900 block of Gagely Drive with the added danger of there being an infant in the apartment with the suspect, his gun, and a hysterical victim.

As deputies began to surround the small seven-unit apartment building, the shooting victim emerged from the couple's apartment under her own power just as dispatchers were delivering word that the suspect agreed to surrender. 

The victim was escorted a block away by a deputy to paramedic crews that were waiting in a safe location near Tacuba Drive at the same moment the suspect was being handcuffed and searched by deputies.

Later Sunday morning an unconfirmed tip from a reliable source said the suspect had been released on bond around 9 a.m. from the Norwalk Station jail.
