A man appearing to be the suspect in a standoff that included the shooting of a police officer was led out of a downtown Anchorage apartment complex without incident Friday afternoon.
Police officers take a man into custody near downtown Anchorage on Friday, March 18, 2022. One officer was wounded in an exchange of gunfire during the standoff.
The suspect was identified as 28-year-old Dillon Spring. Police said he had barricaded himself in an apartment before opening fire on five officers, hitting one.The response occupied a six-block section of Ingra Street but didn’t involve a complete evacuation. The more than 10-hour standoff spooked residents and people at nearby businesses who peered out of storefronts or hurried clients to safety.
Around 9 a.m., an officer could be seen training a gun in the direction of the building. White smoke appeared from the roof. Several officers stood behind a BearCat military-style vehicle, some in military gear and helmets. Two officers wore police uniforms and gas masks. Police earlier Friday announced Ingra was closed between Ninth and 15th avenues while special units responded.
“My main concern is my clients‚” she said. “I’m glad the police are there but I don’t think they closed off enough, when someone could point a gun out the window and any of my clients could be shot or get hit by a stray bullet. It’s crazy when you can’t even go to work without worrying about an active shooter around.”
Officers first interacted with the man early Friday morning after receiving a report he assaulted someone with a hammer, according to a policeWhile officers talked with the victim, the suspect left the apartment, police said. Officers “verbally engaged” with him but he was described as not being compliant and went back inside.
