Authorities from multiple agencies quickly converged on the scene looking for Duran, who Walstad said had an "assault-type weapon."

Neighbors were asked not to leave their houses, but they were never evacuated. And by 6 p.m., the scene was considered "contained" -- even though, at that point, police hadn't said they knew exactly where the suspect was.

Now that they do, he's being surrounded by law enforcement. Hostage negotiations are on site as well, though it's not believed that the suspect has taken any hostages.

Authorities were talking to the suspect -- by telephone -- around 7:30 p.m., Walstad said.

1. "assault type weapon" and he managed to seriously wound the police in several locations.

Hmmmmmm. I wonder how we could change such an outcome.

2. Hopefully they take him alive,

so he can face justice.
