ORIGINAL: We're getting an exclusive look at the evacuation underway for some West Fargo residents. Others are being told to shelter in place.

Those affected are within a quarter mile radius of 10th Avenue and 11th Street West. It's a precaution, as the police seem to have narrowed their search for a driver involved in a police chase.

That chase started around 8 p.m. Monday night, and authorities believed the car had weapons inside. The man had reportedly fled on foot from a car in the general location of 1003 11th Street West.

One West Fargo resident indicated to Valley News Live that police told them the individual they're searching for has a couple guns, and there's the possibility of return gunfire.

Evan Blotsky tells us, he, his wife and daughter were evacuated by West Fargo police to his brothers home three miles away.

The area police are searching is near Westside Elementary school.

We're getting word from a number of people on social media that the suspect that has triggered a shelter in place is sitting inside a truck and refusing to come out.
