DETROIT – A long standoff with a barricaded gunman came to an end Monday afternoon on Detroit’s west side, police said.
The situation unfolded before noon Monday (Aug. 22) in the 8200 block of Pierson Street, according to authorities. The home is just west of Evergreen Road, between Tireman Avenue and Joy Road.
Officials from the Detroit Police Department and Michigan State Police were called to the scene and surrounded the home. They were there until around 4:15 p.m., when the situation came to an end.
Officials said they were looking into whether this situation was linked to a Sunday night shooting on that same block. A man was killed during an argument around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, police said.
