NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Police Department says the standoff between a SWAT team and a suspect in New Orleans East has ended.
A NOPD spokesperson says the call came in as a domestic disturbance just before 5 a.m. but the woman was able to get out of the home before police arrived.
When officers arrived at the home in the 14400 block of Peltier, the suspect opened the door for officers, closed it, and started shooting at officers from inside the home.
A NOPD vehicle was shot. The suspect surrendered himself shortly after. He was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation.
None of the responding officers were injured.
