ORIGINAL STORY:
Police surrounded a home in a La Quinta gated community near Washington Street and Avenue 50 early Tuesday morning where a barricaded suspect refused to come out. Flash bang devices were heard by a KESQ News crew at the scene and police cleared the area a short time later. News Channel 3 is awaiting an update from authorities on how the situation was ended.
News Channel 3 first started getting reports of a heavy police presence at the Parc La Quinta community on the 78000 block of Via Bolero, around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
Police at the scene could be heard over a loud speaker telling a suspect to "come out."
Uniformed deputies could be seen in the residential street outside the home with long rifles and wearing body armor.
A robotic device, perhaps used for communication, was also seen out front of the home.
The Riverside County Sheriffs Department did not confirm any details on the police activity but did say a SWAT team was in route.
