No officers were injured.

Ben Colvin and his 12-year-old son Ryan were home with Ryan's grandmother when they saw the suspect in their driveway at about 6:20 p.m. They say they were afraid for the grandmother who had the doors "wide open."

Santa Monica police say the suspect was armed and trying to hide from police after breaking into a home a block down. They say when the home's resident showed up, the suspect pointed a handgun at the resident. The resident was able to get out and call police, authorities said.

Santa Monica police encourage everyone to make sure their doors and windows are locked.
