After shooting at FBI agents, 30-year-old Frank Perez Jr. was arrested peacefully in a Pittsburgh suburb Tuesday, station WTAE in Pittsburgh reported.
The arrest in Verona, Pa., came after a nearly three-hour standoff with agents and an Allegheny County SWAT Team, WTAE reported.
“He came out on his own,” FBI Special Agent Jeff Killeen said, according to the station. “With those overwhelming odds, really he has no chance of escaping and running anymore.”
The FBI said it did not fire any shots. But the station reported that a witness claimed to have seen the agents crouching and firing shots.
Perez’s 1999 charges involved his shooting at police officers, and the FBI says he is suspected of a kidnapping in Mexico as well, according to WTAE.
“This individual has demonstrated clearly that he’s very much a danger to society,” Killeen said. “He’s fired on law enforcement — not once, but twice, in two separate incidents — so we’re very, very concerned about the level of danger that this person poses.”
