Man barricades in home, shoots at police

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A medical evaluation has been ordered for a man suspected of firing shots from a Bellevue home and holding police at bay for five hours.

The standoff began around 1:30 p.m. Friday when a 30-year-old man barricaded himself inside his home and began firing at police who approached the house.

Police blocked off the neighborhood, and after five hours of negotiation, police used tear gas to force the suspect out of the house, where he was arrested.

No one was hurt by the gunfire.
