SAMMAMISH, Wash. — A suspect is in custody after being barricaded inside a Sammamish home following a domestic violence situation.
Residents within a quarter-mile of 244th Place and SE Klahanie Boulevard in Sammamish were told to shelter in place due to police activity Tuesday afternoon.
Police responded to a domestic situation around 3 p.m. One person barricaded themselves inside a home, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
Sergeant Corbett Ford told KING 5 that shots were reportedly fired from inside the home. However, it's unclear what, if anything, the suspect was shooting at.
Out of caution, SWAT and a crisis negotiation team were called to the scene, according to Ford.
It's an isolated incident, but people were told to avoid the area and neighbors were being told to stay inside. Some of the surrounding homes were evacuated, Ford said.
