Marin Standoff Ends With Shotgun-Wielding Suspect's Arrest: Cops

FAIRFAX, CA — A Marin standoff that lasted several hours ended when a shotgun-wielding suspect who was accused of threatening a neighbor surrendered to authorities late Thursday afternoon, Fairfax police said.

Shelter orders issued in connection with the incident were issued at 1:25 p.m. and lifted at 4:30 p.m.

An officer at around 11:35 a.m. Thursday responded to Piper Lane on the report that a neighbor threatened them with a shotgun, police said.
