A business owner is suing the LAPD for destroying his shop during a standoff with an armed fugitive last year.

Carlos Peña has been living a nightmare for almost a full year. His business of 31 years, NoHo Printing and Graphics, was destroyed last August after an armed fugitive barricaded himself inside to elude U.S. Marshals."After that, the SWAT team showed up, a couple hours later, they came in, did there thing and practically destroyed everything," said Peña.

"We counted about 31 or 32 rounds of tear gas. They caused so much damage that in the end, I had to throw away all my inventory. Equipment wise it was about $63,000," he said. "In the process of chasing a criminal, they destroyed my business I had for 31 years." "The same word the U.S. Marshalls used, they said they were 'immune' and couldn't help me out. In fact, they even laughed in my face they said, 'If anything, we are very sorry for what happened to you.' And so, here I am," said Peña.
