A man who barricaded himself inside a home on a U.S. Army installation has been resolved after a 17-hour standoff.
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (AP) – Army officials say an incident involving a man who barricaded himself inside a home on a U.S. Army installation has been resolved after a 17-hour standoff.
People living on four streets surrounding the home had to spend the night elsewhere as a precautionary measure.
The Aberdeen Proving Ground has long been a place where the U.S. military tests its bombs, although in recent years it has diversified into a “megabase” where all sorts of military technology is evaluated.
APG spokesman David Patterson says the man was alone in the home when a concerned relative called Thursday morning saying he’d locked himself inside.
The installation tweeted early Friday that the incident “has concluded,” without providing any more details.
