According to police communications, there is an individual in the residence who refuses to come out of the house. As a result, the current standoff has ensued. A neighbor stated that the suspect in question was in his late 30s with long hair and a beard. The FBI is leading the operations on the ground.
Our reporter on the scene observed Lubbock Police SWAT uniformed officers as well as some men wearing FBI vests. At around 3:11 p.m., a police drone was deployed above the residence.
UPDATE: At around 4:15 p.m., officers were seen driving in a ROOK unit.
The ROOK is a small, armored vehicle. It is built on a Cat Compact Track Loader chassis and resembles a mini tractor or bulldozer. It moves on a track platform instead of wheels, enabling it to navigate diverse terrain. Attached to the front of the ROOK unit was a hydraulic ram.
The Rook unit was seen being driven into the alley. Using the ROOK unit, law enforcement gained access through the back of the house.
UPDATE: At around 4:48 p.m., law enforcement moved in.
