Deputies clear San Pablo neighborhood after armed suspect was barricaded in home

An armed suspect was barricaded inside a home for hours Monday in San Pablo.

The incident was reported in the 1400 block of Rachel Drive in the Montalvin Manor neighborhood in unincorporated West Contra Costa County, near Richmond and San Pablo, and prompted a shelter-in-place order for the area.

The situation also prompted Montalvin Manor K-8 school to close for the day, the school said on its Facebook page.

Shortly before 3 a.m., the sheriff's office advised residents in the area of Rachel and Heather roads to stay inside their homes or in the nearest place of safety, and close and lock all windows until further official instructions.

Authorities cleared the scene around 4 p.m.
