VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Police rescued a mom and her children after a man barricaded himself inside a home in old town Victorville.
At 12:56 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, deputies responded to the 16600 block of A Street for a domestic disturbance call.
Sheriff’s Spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said the female and children are all out of the home but the adult male is still inside and refusing to come out.
Information on the number of children or their ages was not available at the time of this article.
Regina Newton told Victor Valley News, the male barricaded inside, is her 35-year-old brother.
“He’s on drugs, suicidal, he’s threatened myself and family before and tried hurting us,” stated Newton.
The incident has prompted the campus of Sixth Street Prep School to go on a “safeguard status.”
