A standoff in Council Bluffs late Thursday morning ended with one person being taken into custody. The Daily NonPareil reports a man identified as Danny Hannan was arrested at around 12:15-p.m.. after the Metro Area Fugitive Task Force attempted to serve a warrant at a residence in the 2100 block of 6th Avenue.

Council Bluffs Police Lt. Dan Flores said when the task force arrived, Hannan was allegedly uncooperative, and the department’s negotiation unit and other law enforcement agencies were called to the scene. As authorities spoke to the suspect, multiple officers waited, shielded by their vehicles with guns drawn.

At about 12:15 p.m., officers with the department’s emergency services team, fully armored, entered the residence and, after a brief conversation with the suspect, apprehended him. Hannan was taken out of the house in handcuffs and – after officers made sure the scene was secure – attended to by Council Bluffs Rescue personnel. Dispatch reports indicated Hannan had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to one of his arms, but it was not clear whether the wound came from his own weapon or that of law enforcement.
