The suspect had locked himself in his home. Despite police claims they could contact him, he has not yet surrendered. A woman is also present inside the house, although authorities have not designated her as a hostage. As SWAT teams, armored vehicles, and police dogs rolled into the neighborhood, some residents were told to leave their homes, while others were told to stay put. It wasn’t until late Sunday night that they finally revoked the directives.

How Was The Suspect Located?
As Lt. Felton Payne explains, police have confirmed that they can see the suspect and an adult female inside a house. That’s the only thing he knew for sure: There were no adults or children in the house. They have made many phone calls to persuade the suspect to peacefully surrender, as stated by Payne.
As far as he’s concerned, authorities are attempting to defuse the situation and allow things to play out. As of now, there have been none new reports of injuries, so far as the team’s knowledge goes. Thus, Rumble Road and Hemminger Way remain closed to traffic in the site’s vicinity.
