Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies allege Vazquez continued to shoot, even aiming at a police helicopter overhead. 

Octavio Medina, Vazquez’s stepfather, told CBS Los Angeles that the man was high on drugs and in the house with a friend. That man emerged from the house partway through the standoff, was questioned and released.

Meanwhile, Vazquez was talking to the sheriff’s department via the live broadcast video function on Facebook.

"Tell your men to stand back I’ll (expletive) walk out surrendering," Vasquez reportedly said hours into the standoff.

Deputies took Vazquez into custody at about 1 p.m.

No one was hurt in the standoff. Now, Vazquez can get the help he needs, his family said.

"He’s a good kid, he’s a good kid. He just has some pain in his heart that he’s fighting demons," Medina said.
