Police said the area should be avoided as their crisis negotiators attempted to speak with the man, who was “refusing to comply.”

“We have him contained as of right now,” police said. “Trying to get this person to surrender.”

Just before 7 p.m., Sacramento Police tweeted, “No change at this time. Officers [are] still on scene attempting to get the armed individual to surrender.”
