"I never heard of anything like this either," a neighbor told KTTV earlier this week. "We've been living here for years, since '93, and this is the first time something like this has happened."

Redding was taken into custody roughly four hours after the attack without incident, according to officials. As of Monday, he was being held on $2 million bail.
