A "despondent" woman armed with a gun and a knife Tuesday was arrested after a standoff with Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies in San Jose, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies responded to the area of North Bascom and Bel Air avenues in the Rose Garden neighborhood of San Jose on a report of a person in possession of a firearm, officials said.
Sheriff's officials negotiated with the woman and used de-escalation methods to reach a peaceful resolution, the sheriff's office said.
The California Highway Patrol closed the off-ramp from northbound Interstate 880 to North Bascom for about an hour during the incident.
The suspect was not immediately identified, and the incident was under investigation, sheriff's officials said.
No further details were immediately available.
