Deputies in San Francisco on Wednesday arrested a person who was being evicted who allegedly barricaded themselves in the residence and fired shots through the door.
The San Francisco Sheriff's Office said that deputies were serving an eviction notice in the area of 14th Street and Roosevelt Way around 10:45 a.m. when the resident allegedly fired multiple rounds of unknown caliber at officers through the door.
According to the sheriff's office, the area was immediately evacuated and a perimeter was set up. Tactical teams were called in to negotiate with the suspect, but those attempts were unsuccessful.
The suspect was eventually taken into custody after negotiations, but the sheriff's office did not provide details about the arrest.
No officers were injured, nor did deputies return fire, according to the San Francisco Sheriff's Office.
The standoff caused authorities to close the area. The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management posted on social media that there were traffic delays and were asking the public to take alternate routes.
“I was trying to work in the backyard and it sounded like a big fire or something very serious happening,” said San Francisco resident Gene D’Olidio. “And then, I saw the helicopter overhead. I got a text that I appreciated, telling me it had something to do with someone one block away.”
No other details were released.
