Residents said they saw officers in tactical gear with long guns, a command vehicle and drones in the air.<\/p>\n
Streamwood police have only said they were attempting to arrest a suspect at a home. It was not immediately clear why the person was being sought and if there’s anyone else inside.<\/p>\n
ABC7 observed video of police using a loudspeaker to try to communicate with the suspect.<\/p>\n
Neighbors were told to stay indoors. ABC7 talked to one man who came home from work but couldn’t get to his house.<\/p>\n
“It’s strange, because I have never experienced this in this neighborhood, like never,” Streamwood resident Eke Uduma said. “For the number of years I’ve been here, I have never experienced such incidents.”<\/p>\n
Police blocked off a number of roads in the area, including an entrance to the subdivision at Lake Street and Elizabeth, and they have been asking people to stay away.<\/p>\n
“More and more police just kept showing up, and it was like, wow, something really serious has got to be going on in there,” said Andrew Dvorak, who works nearby.<\/p>\n
