Police responded to the house in the eight o’clock hour this (Tuesday) morning after getting a call about a disturbance and then a 9-1-1 hangup. The subject is barricaded in the house. He has a bow and arrow and he’s shot several arrows at the police who responded. They don’t know if he has any other weapons in the house. They’re trying to negotiate right now and get a peaceful end to this.
