SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A suspect is in custody after Sacramento police said a person who was "armed" and "suicidal" barricaded themselves inside a home in Valley-Hi North Laguna.
Officers were near the 5300 block of Jacinto Avenue along with crisis negotiators and SWAT officers, according to police.
The incident started off as a chase from North Sacramento to South Sacramento after threats were allegedly made to another family member around 10 p.m. Monday night. According to the Sacramento Police Department, multiple shots had been fired inside the home.
ABC10 spoke with a neighbor near the home who said she woke up to helicopters.
"Very alarming, very concerning. We heard, like I said, a lot of activity with the helicopter overnight, but definitely didn't think it was anything of this horizon at all," a neighbor told ABC10.
The neighbor said she has a son in elementary school whose normal route would be in front of the house.
"The thing is I would hate for him to make discovery outside the home where we're not there to explain it, or curve it, or help him gain understanding and insight because a lot of the things that happen now are so unexpected. Like I said, he was already very familiar — we watch the news together as a family and so he was already very alarmed by the elementary school shootings as it is and asking questions, you know, as he should. I always want them to feel that there's an open-door policy and we can talk about anything," the neighbor said.
