Men who have been identified as possible suspects in an investigation were holed up in the highrise and declined to leave, prompting officers to deploy the tactical unit to arrest them, police said.

Officers would not identify the investigation.

Four or five police vans were parked along the street as well as an EMS vehicle. A police dog and his handler later entered the building and officers were witnessed bringing in a tactical robot.

At one point, a man in the building appeared to attempt to climb over a balcony but retreated back inside. A man was later seen dropping a grey garbage bag from a balcony.
