POLICE Failure. After Hostage-Taking,
Resident Is Executed In Public.
TO ©0©LP

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.

A shooting at a party at the Viscount Ho-
i,l near Los Angeles International Airport
sparked a near riot Friday night as party-
goers refused orders to disperse and scuffled
with police, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 10:30 p.m.
in the hotel's parking lot, and one person
suffered a minor bullet wound to the shoulder, said Sgt. Bill Sutton with the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division.
As police arrived to investigate, they
asked a group of teen-agers to leave the
scene. When they refused and became
rowdy, police called for dozens of additional
|t*rs to disperse the crowd, Sutton said.
