A police standoff at a residence in central Billings overnight ended with a suspect taken into custody.
The Billings Police Department responded to reports of a shooting at about 6 p.m. Sunday night. A male victim was taken to the hospital and other residents fled the scene. The suspect barricaded himself inside and continued shooting, according to police.
After a standoff lasting several hours, officers located the suspect and took him into custody “without any further injury or shots being fired.”
Police say the initial investigation shows the male suspect shot a second victim in the same area, stole the victim’s vehicle and was later involved in a crash when he entered the residence.
Police say there doesn’t appear to be a connection between the suspect and any of the victims.
The unnamed suspect is being detained on suspicion of deliberate homicide, attempted deliberate homicide and robbery.
