San Fernando shooting: man arrested after 5 victims injured

SAN FERNANDO, Calif. (KABC) — A man was arrested after at least five people were shot and injured at a San Fernando home, authorities said.

Officers with the San Fernando Police Department responded to a report of multiple shooting victims at a home on Orange Grove Avenue around 11:20 p.m. Saturday.

When they arrived, they found four victims with gunshot wounds. A fifth victim was later found at a hospital, where authorities determined he was driving himself.

A 61-year-old man, suspected of being responsible for the shooting, barricaded himself inside his home.

During the ensuing standoff, police said Martin Rodriguez fired at an LAPD helicopter that was circling overhead. No one else was injured before he was eventually taken into custody.

Rodriguez was charged with seven counts of attempted murder, one charge of criminal threats, one charge of shooting into an inhabited dwelling and one charge of shooting into an airplane. He is being held on $9.8 million bail.

The relationship between Rodriguez and the shooting victims is unclear. Additional details about what led to the shooting or information on the victims' conditions were not immediately released.
