***Another Firearm removed off the street***
On 10/25/15, Compton Station Deputies responded to East Rancho Dominguez regarding a person with a gun call. When deputies arrived, one of the individuals was observed holding an object resembling a firearm. Deputies used additional resources including our Department’s Aero Bureau helicopter and quickly established a containment. The two individuals observed by the deputies ignored the deputies’ commands to drop the object as they fled into the courtyard of the apartment complex. The deputies followed them and subsequently detained both suspects without incident inside a nearby apartment. A loaded rifle was later found on the roof of the apartment complex. One of the individuals, was identified as a local street gang member and subsequently arrested for probationer in possession of a loaded firearm and convicted felon in possession of a loaded firearm in a public place.
