Man in custody following standoff incident at Harrisonburg shopping center
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) – A man is in custody following an incident at Sentara Medical Center on East Market Street on Thursday.
Harrisonburg Police were called to the Spotswood Valley Square shopping center around 11:15 a.m. for a report of an individual in crisis making threats to harm himself and others at the medical center.
This led to a heavy police presence and a three-hour standoff with the person locking himself in his car.
A Sentara spokesperson told WHSV that the facility had been placed on lockdown and afternoon patients were rescheduled.
The HPD S.W.A.T. team was able to take the man into custody safely and without injury. As of 2:30 p.m., the issue was resolved, and all patients and employees were able to return to the building.
No charges have been filed at this time.
