Good evening, i'm chris mullooly.
Thanks for joining.
Tonight -- a fort wayne man is in custody after a five and a half hour standoff.fort wayne police were serving a warrant when he refused to come out of his house.i was out there this afternoon and spoke with police and neighbors who watched it all unfold.
?nats - ambulance noise?
3 they pull in and say put your hands up your hands up?nats - loudspeaker?they did their job and did it without hurting anyone elsewilbur livingston and his friends were ready to enjoy the unusally warm day.
Until they heard what was going on nearbywe were ready to leave and we see some cops go by we don't know what's going onfort wayne police were serving a warrant around 12-30 on lillian avenue.while trying to bring the suspect in... a women said the suspect was inside with three children.he was armed and refused to leave.
We did call in our emergency services negotiators and air support for assistancefort wayne police sergeant sofia rosales scatena says they repeatedly tried to contact the suspect.
A situation they've seen happen more 3 frequently.
I don't think there's a reason i think sometimes people just get emotionally involved ata heightened levelafter five hours...police and swat officers eventually using tear gas ?nats - pops?getting the children and suspect out of the home.its kinda scary considering its a peaceful neighborhoodlivingston and many others with front row seats to the scene say its something he'll never forget.
Pretty historic with nice people in it would have such a violent situation and i've been coming here for months and months my best friend lives here so its kinda wild you know detectives are interviewing the suspect...no charges have been released at
