CHANDLER, Ariz. — A SWAT standoff in Chandler lasting several hours ended with the arrest of a man police say may have been involved in a shooting.
Officers were called out to a home near Chandler Boulevard and Gilbert Road around 3 p.m. for reported gunfire.
Police determined that the shots came from a home with two people inside and ordered the occupants to surrender.
One person came out of the house immediately and was arrested peacefully, but a man refused and barricaded himself inside the home.
Police then called in the Maricopa County SWAT team and a K-9 unit to help. About three and half hours after the initial call, the K-9 and deputies were able to breach the home and arrest the man.
The suspect was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover. No one else was hurt.
It’s unknown who fired the weapon or for what reasons. Police said the incident is still being investigated.
