WILTON MANORS, Fla. – The members of a SWAT team surrounded a one-story house with both commercial and residential space on Thursday in Broward County.
For hours, a woman refused to surrender. She was in the house along the south side of Oakland Park Boulevard, between Northwest Third and Sixth Avenues, in Wilton Manors.
A witness said the woman first got in a fight with her husband and then threatened to kill everyone, but she was alone in the home and it was unclear if she was armed.
At about 2:15 p.m., deputies had evacuated the Dragon Lily Tattoo parlor and closed Oakland Park Boulevard in both directions, from Powerline Road to Andrews Avenue.
At about 4:25 p.m., a spokesperson for the Wilton Manors Police Department wrote, “At this time the incident is an active investigation.” By 5 p.m., the woman surrendered and police officers put her in handcuffs. Oakland Park Boulevard reopened.
Detectives were asking anyone with information about the case to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
