A standoff in which police exchanged fire with a suspect in Bloomington ended with a man surrendering and being taken into custody.
Police from neighboring Richfield responded to a residence in the 8700 block of 12th Avenue S. just after midnight Friday after Bloomington police got a call about a suicide threat.
Upon arrival, there was an exchange of gunfire between officers and "a man in crisis," according to a statement from Bloomington police.
Richfield officers responded to the call because Bloomington officers were responding to a burglary at a jewelry store, the statement said.
Bloomington Emergency Response Unit negotiators went to the scene and spoke by telephone with the 36-year-old suspect holed up in the residence. At about 4 a.m., the suspect came outside and was arrested without further incident, Bloomington police said.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension confirmed it responded early Friday to a "use-of-force" incident and is now investigating.
It was not immediately clear if anybody was injured.
