Yeah, Huron north and south 120th to 124th, at the apartments just south of the middle school, and I am stuck here at work 5 blocks away, traffic sucks! At least 124th is open but, now a parking lot due to the diverted traffic.

My office went on lock-down, which baffled me if it was a police involved shooting, what was that purpose for us to lock-down?

Guess us sheep have to be kept safe in case we wander out and get hurt.

Suspect of a home invasion fled on motorcycle, crashed out, and fled on foot. He brandished a weapon and 2 officers fired their weapons killing the perp. Info at the 9News link above has been updated.

So they must have called in a lock down when he ran from the Po po for the area, causing the schools (high and middle) and businesses in the area to go on lock down as well. Then he crashed and got shot so they called off the lock-down. Makes more sense now, I was just told lock down due to police involved shooting, made no sense.

I was actually coming back from a meeting when I got call from work about the situation. Took me 3 times longer to get to the office and then 4 times longer to get out of the area after work. The news article is wrong it was Huron 124th to 120th was closed. Glad it was a bad guy that took the fall, the officers were safe.
