BRAZIL, Ind. (AP) — A suspect wanted by authorities has released two hostages but remained holed up during an hours-long standoff with police in western Indiana.
Chief Shawn Keen of the Terre Haute Police Department released a statement Thursday afternoon saying the Vigo County Drug Task Force and U.S. Marshal's Service Task Force attempted to make contact with the suspect about 10:30 a.m. at a room at a Best Western hotel near Interstate 70 in Clay County.
He says a shot was fired through the door from inside the room, but no one has been hurt. He says negotiators have won the release of a female and juvenile from inside the room.
