Standoff in Cerritos Apartment Ends, Suspect Reportedly Found Dead

 

 

LASD brought in this emergency helicopter which landed at Cerritos Elementary across from Concordia Lutheran. The LBPD, who was the lead agency, set up their command post at Concordia Lutheran’s parking lot. That helicopter is known as “Air 5.” It is stationed in Long Beach. Air 5 has a five person crew. Two pilots, one Crew Chief, and two Paramedics. The Crew Chief and Paramedics all had previous SWAT experience. Their primary mission is to conduct recuse missions where time or terrain negate the use of ground resources. They are deployed most often in water, mountain, or desert environments.
