Man with firearm triggers downtown standoff, taken into custody

At about 3:15 p.m. this afternoon, heavily armed police officers blocked off Whittier Street downtown.
Just before 3 p.m., I happened upon a police officer crouched behind the wheel well of a gray SUV blocking an access point to the Driftwood Hotel parking lot downtown.
I asked if everything was under control.
“No. I would definitely go back behind the building for now,” the officer said.
The officer had an assault rifle and was facing the Driftwood lobby about 75 fee
