LA MESA, Calif. (KGTV) - Gunfire in a La Mesa home led to a lengthy standoff that concluded with two arrests.
According to La Mesa police, an argument between two male roommates escalated at about 10:40 p.m. Monday when one of the men fired four to five rounds from an assault rifle inside the house in the 4100 block of Blackton Dr.
