HURRICANE, Utah — Police lifted the shelter-in-place order after they took an armed suspect who barricaded himself in a Hurricane home into custody Thursday evening. No injuries were reported.

At 4:13 p.m., police received reports of a possible suicidal male in the area of 290 North in Hurricane who was armed and in the street in front of his house.

When police arrived to the scene, the suspect was found to be armed with a rifle and handgun and barricaded himself inside his home.

It was at this time police had issued a Shelter in Place order for the area and also asked them to not fire off any fireworks. Both requests have since been lifted after the incident was resolved.
