After a four and a half hour long standoff in Brooklyn, two people peacefully surrendered to police, according to the Brooklyn Police Department.
Police said the officers responded to a report of shots fired at a vehicle that left the 8900 block of Ansonia Avenue and headed eastbound.
Officers arrived at a residence near the car and initiated a traffic stop after locating the vehicle and securing the perimeter.
BPD said they activated the Southwest Enforcement Bureau’s Regional Tactical Response Team because they received no response from people in the residence who called, and because of the violent nature of the call.
According to the department, Brooklyn officers saw a man flee the residence on foot who was arrested after a short pursuit.
One person voluntarily left the residence, surrendered and told police they were assaulted in the house. The person was safely removed from the area and the Brooklyn Fire Department paramedics transported them to Metro Hospital for treatment.
BPD said two more people surrendered eventually after the hours-long standoff with police.
Brooklyn Police said there were no injuries and the event ended peacefully.
The incident is under investigation and further details will be released once formal charges are made, BPD said.
Police said the timing of the incident and proximity to the school's campus led the Brooklyn Schools to lockdown.
"There is no immediate threat or incident at the district campus, however, Brooklyn Police Department has advised the Brooklyn City Schools to delay dismissal until the district has received the 'all clear' confirmation," the district said early Thursday afternoon.
According to the district, students who were "car riders" were cleared to leave, but had to be walked to their vehicle by a school employee. All other students are inside their classrooms with staff members.
"Due to the ongoing incident outside of the school, we will not be dismissing students to walk home. Please take your time. All students are safe and in their classroom," the district said.
Preschool through grade 7 students were walked to the Blue Lot. Grades 8 to 12 were walked to the high school's front lot.
Additionally, parent-teacher conferences were canceled and rescheduled.
We've reached out to police for more information on the activity occurring near the school.
