SANDY, Utah — Residents were asked to shelter in place as the SWAT team and police officers worked for hours Thursday night to take a suspect into custody who barricaded himself inside a home.
Extra support from Sandy police officers and the SWAT team headed to the area to help as the situation unfolded. "They can go active and so we want to just, you know, again, mitigate any sort of threat to them," Moffitt explained."So asking them to stay inside...When people do step outside their house, it can cause a little bit of an issue because it is a distraction to the officers or the attack members."
Friday morning, Moffitt told FOX 13 News officers were able to find the man hiding in the house and took him into custody.
