Hostage Situation on South Hamilton Street in Gang Mills
The situation started around 2 a.m. this morning when alledgedly an altercation broke out between the upstairs tenant and the downstairs tenant. I'm not sure what the fight was about, but the upstairs tenant became very threatening and caused the downstairs tenant to call the police. From that point on it sources said he barricaded himself in the apartment.
The upstairs tenant had his son, an eight-year-old boy, in the apartment with him. Since then the police have been in a "quiet wait" with the father.
Sources tell me the father was very distraught over a custody issue.
Erwin Valley Elementary School is in lock down. The police have been careful to keep spectators and the media out of a line of fire from the apartment building.
Will post more news when I have it.
