Police spokesman Robert Gomez said Thursday that a 21-year-old “suspicious subject” was “detained and interviewed” before being released. He was reportedly armed with a gun and knife.
He was spotted lurking outside the Casa Carmelita shelter.
“He was sitting in his truck wearing blue latex gloves, and brandishing a knife. Police recovered a loaded gun, ammo, and a bag of white powder from his person,” Casa Carmelita wrote in a Facebook post.
"Released." That's nice.
You'll note the truck is plastered with Trump and Cruz advertising and, in a nod to an ancient conspiracy theory of far right- wingers still pushed by fever swamps like Infowars, a "flouride" bumper sticker:
JFC, these people are nuts. And they're not chastened, they're emboldened.

Jimbo -- We're surprised they didn't give him a gift of some additional ammo when they released him.
Had he been a darker hue, they would have shot him where he sat.
donnah -- true!
What was the white powder? Baking soda? The story came and went quickly.
anon -- too quickly, like it's just another day in America (which it is). He'll be back in the news again, no doubt, when it's too late.
