A long standoff at an Oakland Park apartment<\/a> complex on Friday night ended with a suspect in the hospital after deputies were forced to fire, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The incident began at around 6 p.m. with a report of a man armed with a knife in the 800 block of West Oakland Park Boulevard, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

Video at the scene captured heavy law enforcement as well as SWAT teams.<\/p>\n

For several hours, deputies tried to get the man to come out of an apartment at the Racquet Club complex in Oakland Park.<\/p>\n

NBC6 spoke to residents in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came home from work today, and all of a sudden, I see a bunch of BSO cops piling in, and I walked over to my neighbors and asked what\u2019s going on,” Alana Pruitt said. “I guess he threatened one of the neighbors with a knife.\u201d<\/p>\n

After hours of investigators trying to coax the man out of the apartment, deputies eventually made contact with him, and a deputy opened fire.<\/p>\n

The suspect was taken out of the apartment, and crews took him to the Broward Health Medical Center for treatment.<\/p>\n

NBC6 is working to learn more information, including the man’s identity and his condition.<\/p>\n

No other injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken over the investigation, which is standard when an officer fires their weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A long standoff at an Oakland Park apartment complex on Friday night ended with a suspect in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144,30694],"class_list":["post-339399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-oakland-park"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
