(KRON) — An hours-long standoff with an armed veterans housing resident in the South Bay Wednesday night was peacefully resolved, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office. The man, who was not identified, faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a firearm and resisting arrest.
The incident began around 9 p.m. when a resident at the Veterans Housing Facility on 10 Kirk Avenue in San Jose allegedly got into an argument with a staff member and pulled out a gun.
