SWAT Team Negotiates with Man Inside Simi Valley Mobile Home

Simi Valley: The SWAT team showed up at a mobile home park on Sunday. They were trying to talk to a guy who reportedly fired a gun inside his place.

Sgt. Duy Bui mentioned they got the call around 1:40 p.m. and headed to the Simi Country Mobile Home Estates. To stay safe in the tight space, they even borrowed an armored vehicle from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

A family member was inside the unit but thankfully wasn’t hurt and managed to leave. The guy they’re after is a 39-year-old who might have a few guns at home.

Bui said there were no known injuries or victims, which is a relief. He wasn’t sure how many officers were there, but he guessed around 15 to 20.

“We take these things very seriously for sure,” Bui said around 6 p.m. He added that the man seemed to want to come out, but they had no clue if he actually fired at anything since they hadn’t gone inside yet.

By 7 p.m., the man still hadn’t come out.

This story will be updated.
