SACRAMENTO (AP) — An armed suspect who held someone hostage in a Sacramento home surrendered early Tuesday after a long standoff with police and the victim was safe, authorities said.

The suspect was taken into custody in the early morning hours, the Sacramento Police Department said in a brief social media post.

“The victim is safe,” it said. “Reduced police presence will remain as detectives have responded to process the scene.”
