After a four-hour standoff today, police arrested 40-year-old Ruben A. Garcia, who had locked himself inside his 1520 Brighton Ave. home after prosecutors charged him with attempted murder on suspicion of shooting his mother Sunday three times with a handgun.
Garcia had fled the scene of the shooting, and authorities had been searching for him when a neighbor phoned police today around 8:55 a.m. saying he had seen Garcia go into the home, said Officer Rosie Betanio, Hollister police spokeswoman.
This video traces the standoff from start to finish with interviews with police, parents of students who were in a locked-down school and neighbors.
