After several hours of negotiations, the Tampa Police Department said officers took an armed man into custody early Monday morning.
Police said the man was in a vehicle on the 4700 block of W. Estrella Street and expressing suicidal intentions while isolated inside.
Officers said they spent hours trying to achieve a safe and peaceful resolution. He was taken into custody around 11:15 p.m.
Residents of the home where the vehicle was parked were safely evacuated. Traffic has since reopened along Westshore Boulevard.
This is still an ongoing investigation.
