Fountain police standoff ends peacefully with armed suspect in custody

One person is in custody following a police standoff Saturday night in a Fountain neighborhood that ended without injuries.

The Fountain Police Department said shots were fired inside a home in the 7400 block of Benecia Drive during a family disturbance just before 7 p.m.

The suspect who fired the shot barricaded themselves in the house while everyone else exited.

Officers issued a shelter-in-place order for residents in the area as they worked with the Rapid Response Team to safely resolve the situation.

The suspect exited the home just before midnight and was taken into custody and the shelter-in-place was lifted.

FPD has not released the suspect’s name or the charges they face.
