Police have arrested a man in the shooting of a woman in North Redondo Beach this afternoon.

Roy Rodriguez, Jr., 22 years old, of Redondo Beach, was taken into custody by Redondo Beach Police on Wednesday afternoon following a shots-fired call. Police responded to  the 2500 block of Graham Avenue around 1:30 p.m., after being told that a man had shot a woman inside the residence. They immediately began setting up containment and gathering information about the condition of the victim.

“One of our Crisis Negotiation Team officers was able to make contact with the suspect, convincing him to surrender to police without incident,” Lt. Joe Hoffman said.

Inside the house, paramedics found a woman who was alive with a gunshot wound to the head, and provided immediate medical treatment. Four other people, including one child, were evacuated from the house and found to be unharmed, police said.

The woman’s injuries appear to be life-threatening.  She is receiving medical treatment at a local hospital.

Rodriguez has been charged with attempted murder, and is being held on $500,000 bail.
