Thanks to the expert work of LSPD officers and the highly trained LSPD Metropolitan Division SWAT team, no civilians or officers were harmed during the incident.
The situation began when an LSPD officer was taken hostage at gunpoint inside the SADOC facility. A Code-1 emergency was immediately declared, prompting a rapid response from LSPD SWAT.
