I AMERICAN-POLICE-STATE POLICE Failure. After Hostage-Taking, Resident Is Executed In Public. TO ©0©LP «3c A Sheriffs Department marksman ended a hourlong hostage standoff Friday in Alhambra with a single bullet that hit the suspect in the head and killed him instantly— as he apparently prepared to shoot his hostage, authorities said. Deputies with the SWAT team had; been called in shortly after 2:30 p.m. to back up Alhambra police who had received a frantic call;over the 911 emergency line about a gunman and attempted robbery at an office supplies store. The suspect, who could not be immediately identified by investigators, had stormed into the Shan- tal & Co. office in the 2600 block of V/ciSt Concord Avenue, confronting three employees and demanding money, according to Depuiy Rich Erickson. As store manager Mark Balder- rama, 21, took the man to the safe in the back of the store, an employ -I ee slipped out the front and called authorities. Finding no money in the safe, the suspect ran from the store, just as Alhambra police arrived at the industrial park. The suspect returned to the store, threw a table through the plate glass window and took Balderrama hostage, according to Erickson. The suspect, described by deputies as a Latino in his 20s, attempted to escape with his hostage, but was kept at b$y bv nolice and deputies in the parking lot •, ■• about an hour, autnonties said. All the while, the suspect held his .38-caliber, semiautomatic pistol to the head of Balderrama and "made numerous threats to kill the manager," Erickson said. A later examination of the suspect's gun by deputies found it loaded with rounds that explode on impact. Deputies attempted to negotiate with the suspect, but "apparently things began to sour" just minutes before 4 p.m., said Sgt. Don Craton of the Alhambra Police Department.
