Thornton police, called to an apartment complex on reports of gunfire, negotiated for hours Saturday morning with a man barricaded in a unit before resolving the situation without injuries.
When officers responded around 3:15 a.m. to the Avena Apartments at 1882 E. 104th Ave., the man immediately barricaded himself in an apartment, said Thornton police spokesman Matt Barnes. Neighboring apartments were evacuated but no roads were closed as authorities continued to negotiate with the man.
Shortly after 9 a.m., Barnes said the situation had been resolved and the man was taken into custody. Police have not identified him.
