An alleged murder suspect was barricaded inside a house Friday night near Russell Road and US 60.
Officials with the U.S. Marshals Service say Task Force members were investigating a man with warrants for weapons violations, as well as a recent homicide.
When they located him around 4 p.m., the man shot at officers "with no regard for the safety of the community," according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
The man then barricaded himself inside the house.
Officials with Mesa police say officers exchanged gunfire with the man. U.S. Marshals officials say the shooting also involved Arizona WANTED Violent Offender Task Force members.
It is unknown if the individual broke into the home or if anyone has been injured by gunfire.
The man was ultimately taken into custody.
According to Mesa police, the man who was barricaded was involved in a murder and armed robbery in March.
The man's alleged accomplice in that incident, 36-year-old Zane Proctor, was arrested on May 5.
Documents say Proctor and another individual entered a business where someone resided and engaged in a struggle over property.
During the struggle, the person living at the business was shot and killed.
Proctor told investigators that he took property that belonged to the victim, according to court documents.
Proctor is being held on a $1,000,600 bond.
