A suspect is in FBI custody after staging a “barricade situation” Sunday at the Army base of Fort Belvoir in Virginia.
The incident began around 8 a.m. and “resolved peacefully” with the suspect in custody by 3 p.m., according to the base.
“FBI Washington Field Office and Fort Belvoir Army Community services are providing victim assistance services to support all who were affected,” the base said in statement.
