During the standoff, the suspect fired several shots, some of them in the direction of officers.

The suspect’s sister was in the building at the time shots were fired, but was able to leave safely around midnight after negotiations with police.  Police announced the suspect’s arrest on Twitter 30 minutes later.

Police Chief Paul Neudigate said officials were very fortunate that they used good tactics and did not put themselves in harm’s way.

The suspect has been taken to University Hospital for a psychological exam. He could face charges of inducing panic, as well as felonious assault if investigators determine he had deliberately fired shots at police, according to officials.
