Authorities confirmed that the situation, which unfolded around 2:00 AM, involved the suspect barricading himself inside a home after fleeing from deputies.
The ordeal kicked off when sheriff’s deputies attempted to pull over a vehicle for traffic violations.

As the community breathes a sigh of relief, the swift response from law enforcement has ensured that the neighborhood is safe once more. Further updates will follow as the investigation continues into this harrowing incident.
