A four-hour standoff with law enforcement Thursday afternoon ended with Sacramento officers detaining a suspect from a shooting earlier in the day in the same South Oak Park neighborhood, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Officers surrounded a vehicle in the 3300 block of 12th Avenue for the suspect in the shooting that occurred about 1:15 p.m. Thursday in the 4000 block of Washington Avenue, said Officer Allison Smith, a spokesperson for the Sacramento Police Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The surrounded vehicle was in front of the Oak Park Market, just east of 33rd Street. Officers had sealed off the area to vehicles and pedestrians. Police were telling nearby residents to lock their doors and stay inside.<\/p>\n

Smith said some in the area had been evacuated as a precaution. Officers were at the 12th Avenue scene, along with armored vehicles, the department\u2019s SWAT team and crisis negotiators trying to safely take the shooting suspect into custody, police said.<\/p>\n

The Police Department urged drivers in the area to take alternate routes.<\/p>\n

Police officials have not released any further details about the victim wounded in the shooting on Washington Avenue, several blocks east of where officers had surrounded the vehicle on 12th Avenue.<\/p>\n

About 6:45 p.m., roughly four hours after the standoff with police began, the Police Department<\/a> announced that officers had taken the suspect into custody<\/p>\n
