Boulder police rescued two people from a north Boulder residence Monday evening before a man barricaded himself in the home.

The Boulder Police Department tweeted that police had received information about a potential hostage situation in Boulder from the Lafayette Police. Boulder police responded and rescued two people from inside the home, on or near Broadway, south of Iris Avenue. One officer fired their gun during the rescue, but nobody was hit. After the victims were rescued, the suspect, who is believed to possess multiple firearms, barricaded himself in the residence.

The police have advised the public to avoid the 3300 block of Broadway near Iris Avenue due to the evolving situation.
