By 7:30 pm the police appeared to have resolved the situation. It appeared the operation was directed by Spokane City Police with the assistance of Spokane Country Sheriff’s Department.

Colville Street is back open now. The standoff took place at the home on the corner of Colville and H Street. The home is directly across the street from the Middle School football field.
