Hours earlier, around 7 P.M., the Palm Springs Police Department advised residents in the 1800 block of N Cerritos Road to stay indoors due to police activity.

Lieutenant William Hutchinson told News Channel 3 that officers had been working on an assault with a deadly weapon investigation.

"The suspect in question is armed and has barricaded himself inside his apartment. SWAT is on scene and will be handling the incident," Hutchinson wrote.

News Channel 3 crew at the scene confirmed that officers used a loudspeaker telling the suspect to come out with their hands up.
