Police arrested a man Sunday who allegedly raped his ex-girlfriend, shot another woman during a carjacking and kidnapped four children, including two of his own, authorities said.
Angel Samos, 29, was arrested around 5:30 p.m. in Long Beach and all four children were recovered unharmed, said Los Angeles police Officer Karen Rayner.
Samos was shot by an officer during the arrest and was transported to a hospital in stable condition, Rayner said. Further details of the arrest weren't immediately known Sunday night.
Samos allegedly sexually assaulted his ex-girlfriend Saturday afternoon at a South Los Angeles home and then took the woman, her 11-year-old daughter and her 6-year-old niece to a gas station, according to police Lt. Faryl Fletcher.
There he allegedly shot a 24-year-old motorist in the back when she resisted his alleged attempt to carjack her vehicle, Fletcher said.
During the shooting, the ex-girlfriend ran away and the man fled with the two children, Fletcher said.
Samos later met his mother at a Long Beach liquor store, taking her Toyota along with his own 1- and 5-year-old sons, officials said.
Samos had contacted authorities from an undisclosed location and offered to trade at least some of the children for his ex-girlfriend, Fletcher said.
The woman shot at the gas station was hospitalized in critical but stable condition and was expected to survive, officials said.
THE BIDEN INVASION - Health inspections for foreign nationals entering our country illegally have gone out the window. That's enabled the importation of many diseases which affect livestock and other agricultural output, and already these things are happening. Legal immigrants and even returning U.S. citizens must pass these inspections to protect the U.S. food supply. But under Joe Biden's catch-and-release, illegals are exempt from such cumbersome requirements. MONICA SHOWALTER
