A 61-year-old man is currently in custody following a shooting spree that resulted in five people being hospitalized on Saturday night in the San Fernando Valley, authorities have confirmed to KTLA.

The suspected shooter, identified as Martin Rodriguez, a resident of San Fernando, barricaded himself inside his home. During the standoff with the police, Rodriguez reportedly fired at a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter that was providing aerial support to the officers on the ground.
