Man taken into custody, shelter in place order lifted after gunshots in North Fargo

(Fargo, ND) -- A shelter in place order has been lifted in North Fargo after an hours long standoff ended early Thursday morning.

Fargo Police tell WDAY Radio they were originally called to the WoodSpring Suites hotel off 35th street north at around 11 p.m. for reports of a man having a mental health emergency. When authorities arrived, the man barricaded himself inside a hotel room there, then fired shots at officers. This resulted in a shelter in place notification being sent out between the 700 and 1200 blocks of 35th street north.

After several hours of negotiations, authorities were able to get the man to exit the hotel, where he was then placed into custody and taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

As of this morning, no injuries were reported. Charges from the incident are pending.
