Police, lights, fire on 5th and Ridge


Does anyone know what's going on?  I just drove up 5th Street from NY Ave and btwn M and N there are fire and police and on 4th and Ridge two police cars have a dark sedan trapped.  And as I ran from my parked car to my house, another police whized by on N street towards 5th... any update/info on this would be greatly welcome since my house backends onto 5th and close to Ridge.

Saw that too outside my window, but I don't know what's going on. There's a white van with a satellite dish on top and a camera crew, but the van doesn't have a TV station's name on it or anything.

Apparently one of the kids in the house called in a domestic assault in progress but when the police arrived the residents wouldn't open the door. Someone then punched out one of the upstairs windows which caused the police to call a barricade. The multiple dogs in the house didn't help the situation. Fortunately, and according to the officer I talked to, no one was hurt.

I just saw an ambulance (with no lights on) slowly come down ridge and there are many more police cars and flashing lights on 4th and Ridge ...
