Los Angeles police urged residents to remain vigilant Monday morning as detectives fanned across the San Fernando Valley looking for clues behind a series of shootings that left three people dead and four others wounded.
Detectives with the LAPDs elite Robbery-Homicide Division have been working literally around the clock on the case since the three shootings occurred Sunday morning, LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said. Investigators are looking for witnesses and video evidence anything, Smith said, to help crack the case.
What kind of monster would do something like this get up and start driving around and shooting people at random? Smith said. Until we have this entire thing wrapped up and all people that were involved in custody, were not going to stand down. People need to remain vigilant.

A suspect in a series of shootings that killed three people and left four people injured within the span of an hour in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles was taken into custody following a standoff, police said.
The suspect was taken into custody Sunday by SWAT officers after holing himself up in a house for about an hour, Capt. William Hayes said.
Hays declined to say what led officers to the house or whether any evidence was found inside. Witnesses had reported seeing two men in a tan- or gold-colored SUV at two of the three crime scenes in the San Fernando Valley area.

A man considered by detectives as "a person of interest" in three San Fernando Valley killings over the weekend has been arrested in connection with a separate case involving the fatal shootings of two dogs, Los Angeles police said Monday.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith identified the man as Alexander Hernandez, 34. Hernandez was taken into custody by SWAT officers at his home in Sylmar late Sunday and was booked on an animal-cruelty charge, Smith said...
Smith said detectives now believe that the gunman involved in Sunday's killings of two women and one man in separate incidents acted alone. He said police also are trying to determine whether Sunday's killings are connected to other unsolved shootings in recent days.
