On Monday Los Angeles County deputies, with support from the Glendale Police Dept., responded to a report of a person with a gun on a Metro bus, according to LASD.

The incident began just before 10 a.m. at San Fernando Road and West Los Feliz Road. Passengers had exited the bus and the bus driver was apparently getting ready to exit when he noticed a man asleep on one of the bus seats with a gun.

The Special Enforcement Bureau, Transit Mental Evaluation Team and crisis negotiators arrived on the scene to provide support.

It was a barricade situation that lasted about three hours, according to an LASD spokesman.

The only information released about the suspect was that he was a “male Hispanic.”

“He [apparently] had fallen asleep on the bus,” said the LASD spokesman.

The suspect woke up and agreed to step out of the bus and was taken into custody without further incident, the spokesman added.
