Lee said that deputies then established a perimeter and “made announcements for a possible suspect to exit an apartment.” It’s unclear if they had already located the suspected shooter at that time, or were in the process of searching.
During the standoff, the sheriff’s office SWAT team and hostage negotiation team both responded to the situation.
Deputies were eventually able to take the person into custody, according to Lee, who did not provide further details about how it happened.
While the standoff was active, the sheriff’s office issued a lockdown alert to people in the areas near Chadwick Lane, Lancaster Circle or Lancaster Lane. It later sent an updated all-clear to people in the area.
