A SWAT SITUATION THAT HAD CENTRAL AVENUE IN ALBUQUERQUE CLOSED BETWEEN 60TH STREET AND YUCCA IS FINALLY OVER. APD SAYS OFFICERS TOOK TWO PEOPLE INTO CUSTODY SHORTLY AFTER 8AM AND ARE INTERVIEWING THEM.
OFFICERS WERE SENT TO AN APARTMENT NEAR YUCCA DRIVE AND CENTRAL EARLIER TUESDAY ON A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALL. THE MAN BARRICADED HIMSELF INSIDE THE APARTMENT WITH THE WOMAN AND HELD OFFICERS AT BAY FOR HOURS. IT FOLLOWS A WEEKEND OF VIOLENCE IN ALBUQUERQUE IN WHICH FOUR PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND FIVE WERE INJURED IN FOUR SEPARATE INCIDENTS.
APD EXPECTS TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THE INCIDENT LATER TUESDAY.
