standoff
Posted: 2/10/2010
Shelby County Sheriff Mike Armstrong said charges are pending against the unnamed woman.
He said the situation began about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday after a confrontation involving two women at 2047 Waddy Road.
When deputies arrived, he said, they found one of the women at her residence. She refused to come out and threatened deputies with a gun, he said. More deputies and Kentucky State Police officers arrived, and later the Louisville Metro Police SWAT team was asked to assist.
"After several hours, the situation came to a peaceful conclusion," Armstrong said. The woman was taken into custody and taken to U of L Hospital for medical treatment. She suffered injuries that were believed to be self-inflicted, he said.
The incident was over before midnight, he said.
"We appreciate the help of Louisville Metro," Armstrong said. "They were very professional."
