At least two people are in custody following an hours-long standoff in Fremont.
Police and SWAT surrounded the Mission Peak Lodge Friday afternoon to respond to armed suspects who were barricaded inside.
The standoff was reported just before 2 p.m. Mission Boulevard was closed in both directions between Anza and Pine streets during the police response.
Earlier in the day, police were following up on a stolen vehicle investigation that led them to the parking lot at the Mission Peak Lodge.
Police said investigators made contact with one suspect at around 12:24 p.m. and arrested him. The suspect had a gun in his backpack.
Investigators later learned several other suspects were in a room at the motel with guns inside. Police and SWAT then established a perimeter around the Mission Peak Lodge.
At around 5:30 p.m., a SWAT vehicle was seen ramming into the lodge. Police then got two men to come out of the building. The two men were taken into police custody.
