Wow ! ! ! Response time of SECONDS ! (well it could have been a few hundred seconds) Any possibility that the subject lived in the apartment complex and simply entered his home, put the gun in a gun safe, and hung the vest in his closet, and changed into something more comfortable?

PLEASANT HILL
— Police on Saturday morning detained a 33-year-old man after searching through the night for a suspect carrying an assault rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest at an apartment complex.
The man, a resident of the complex at 100 Boyd Road, surrendered peacefully at about 11:23 a.m. and is being
treated by mental health professionals, said Pleasant Hill police Sgt. Matt Kristic.
Detectives on Saturday afternoon were working to obtain a warrant to search the man’s apartment for the rifle. He has not been arrested but police are seeking criminal charges for weapons violations, Kristic said.
Officers responded at about 10:30 p.m. Friday to calls about a man with a gun and briefly saw him before he disappeared into the complex, police said. A SWAT team was brought in, the area was sealed off and residents were alerted to stay where they were.
The shelter-in-place order was lifted at 4:36 a.m.
“That was our goal — to make sure this was resolved and we’ve come to a safe conclusion,” Kristic said.
