Suspect Arrested After Firing Shots at Addison Police in Standoff

A man in Addison, Illinois, engaged in an hourslong standoff with police after firing shots from inside a residence, striking an officer wearing a protective vest and causing minor injuries to several officers. The incident began when the suspect called 911 to request help locating his dogs, threatening to take matters into his own hands if police did not assist, and then displayed erratic behavior including blocking streets, spraying an unknown substance, and setting objects on fire. Upon police arrival near the 200 block of East La Porte Drive, the suspect retreated into a home and fired at officers, prompting a response from nearby law enforcement and specialized SWAT teams. Residents were advised to shelter in place, and local schools, including Addison Trail High School and all buildings in Addison School District 4, were placed in secure environments as a precaution. The suspect ultimately surrendered and was taken into custody without any civilian injuries reported, and officers treated for minor injuries were released from the hospital. Authorities continue to investigate the incident, which caused significant disruption in the community.
