Patrol officers set up containment in the immediate area and directed additional police resources to the area.
Attempts to communicate with the remaining occupants were made in an effort to safely direct them from the residence. The male, allegedly in possession of the firearm, refused to leave.
At approximately 12:50 p.m. a shot was fired from a third-story window of the residence, striking an object outside the home.
The barricaded male was in contact with police throughout the day. Following several hours of negotiation, the male walked from the residence, surrendering to police at approximately 7:20 p.m. Once the male was in police custody, two firearms and ammunition were located within the residence.
This occurrence of break and enter is still under investigation by Northwest Division detectives.
The male may face weapons-related criminal charges; however those details, including the name of the individual, are not being released at this time. Police continue to investigate the circumstances that may have led to the barricaded incident.
