Man sentenced to 20 years in Pacific Palisades hostage standoff
Wayman Kaua, who fired a shotgun toward officers during a 15-hour standoff with police Sept. 12, 2019, in Pacific Palisades and held his ex-girlfriend hostage — similar to his 22-hour standoff in 1998, was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison.
In both cases, Kaua fired shots at police, held women hostage and paralyzed the Pacific Palisades community for many hours.
