UPDATE: Persons of interest released after standoff at the Park at Buckingham

UPDATE: The two persons of interest, who were taken in for questioning after firing shots into a vehicle at the Park at Buckingham complex and barricading themselves in a nearby apartment, have since been released. This is an ongoing investigation.

Homewood police received word of shots fired into a vehicle the morning of March 1 in the parking lot of the Park at Buckingham, 114 Aspen Circle, and responded to the apartment complex, where two persons of interest had blockaded themselves in an apartment, said Sgt. John Carr with the Homewood Police Department.

After calling in the tactical and negotiating teams, negotiators were able to convince the persons of interest to exit the apartment and were taken in for questioning, said Carr. The situation was resolved with no injuries around 2 p.m., and a release later said at least one AK-47 style rifle was recovered. 

Those with any additional information are encouraged to call the Homewood Police Department at 332-6200.
