When officers arrived, the suspects fled farther inside the building and hid from the cops, but two of them were apprehended, according to accounts from the site.
Officers requested a SWAT team, which resulted in a standoff, Terzes explained. SWAT forces entered the building and apprehended the remaining suspects about 1 a.m. The standoff was called off Tuesday, according to authorities.
