Man With Musket Is Arrested in Threats
A resident of a Los Alamitos convalescent home threatened to shoot police officers with an antique musket early Saturday, prompting an hourlong standoff with officers, authorities said.
Kevin Kennedy, 41, was arrested when officers rushed at him as he came to the front door unarmed, Los Alamitos Police Sgt. Rick Deleon said. Kennedy was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation, Deleon said.
The standoff, which started about 5 a.m., followed a 911 call complaining of a disturbance in a hallway of Laurel Park Manor convalescent home outside Kennedy’s apartment, Deleon said.
