LIMA — An armed woman who barricaded herself in a west Lima home late Tuesday and fired shots out her window was finally coaxed out after nearly four hours.

Officers responded to the 1911 Wales Ave. home at about 6:45 p.m. after reports of a shot being fired.

At about 10 p.m., witnesses at the scene said officers were sending a remote-controlled robot to the side entrance and asking the lady to go to the door and talk to them. The robot had a speaker and was asking the woman to tell police officials what was wrong and offered to talk to her about her American Indian history.

At about 10:20 p.m., the lady was coaxed out of the home through the side door by an officer’s voice through the robot. A team of officers was hiding around the corner of the home. As she came out, they grabbed the woman and put her into an ambulance and took her from the scene.

“We don’t have her name yet,” said Major Jim Baker of the Lima Police Department earlier in the standoff. “She has taken one shot out the window so we are being careful with the situation.

Baker said the woman had become upset about something, but officers were unsure of what.

The desk sergeant on duty at the LPD said he did not know what other agencies were aiding at the scene.

Officers had roads blocked off for several blocks in all directions during the standoff.

A man who would not give his name said he lived at the home and the woman was upset about health issues.
