All lanes of Interstate 80 are shut down near the Interstate 680 interchange in Fairfield following the end of a police pursuit that has turned into a standoff.
In a social media post, the Solano office of the California Highway Patrol said the freeway was closed due to a “potentially armed suspect” who is engaged with police in a standoff.
Aerial footage from KTVU-TV that was streamed by a Sacramento television station shows numerous police cruisers and an armored vehicle on the scene. A spokesperson for the Fairfield Police Department has asked television stations to stop broadcasting the locations of their officers for safety reasons.
