ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A man appearing to be the suspect in a standoff that included the shooting of a police officer was led out of a downtown Anchorage apartment complex without incident Friday afternoon.
The officer, who is expected to survive, was shot early Friday morning while responding to the complex on East 10th Avenue for a report of someone assaulted with a hammer, police said. The suspect, who hadn’t been officially identified, was barricaded inside and not communicating with them, police said.
The response occupied a six-block section of Ingra Street. The more than 10-hour standoff spooked residents and people at nearby businesses who reported hearing gunshots and helping clients hurry inside.
