Boise, Feb 12, 2011, 9:00 p.m. - Boise
Police are questioning several people after a nearly three-hour
stand off ended peacefully in West Boise tonight.
What Happened: Police were called at
4:03 p.m. by a witness reporting a violent domestic situation at a
home just west of Ustick and Milwaukee Streets. When officers
arrived, they found a woman outside the home reporting she thought
she heard a gunshot as she was leaving the home during the quarrel.
The woman told officers she believed a man and woman were still
inside the home. Numerous efforts by officers to make contact with
the pair failed. The woman did confirm to officers that weapons
were inside the home. The Boise Police SWAT team was called out to
make entry into the home if necessary and to protect the
neighborhood. An adjacent home was evacuated as a
precaution.
At approx 6:15 p.m., a woman walked out
of the home and contacted officers. Then approx. 6:45 p.m. a man
walked out the back and met officers who'd been stationed there
watching the house. Neither were hurt.
During the situation, for neighborhood
safety, officers had Ustick blocked between Milwaukee and Maple
Grove. Residents were understanding despite the inconvenience and
officers say their cooperation is appreciated.
At this time, investigators continue to
question those involve trying to sort out just what occurred. No
arrests have been made.
