Fourth of July vacationers were held up for hours on Saturday as an armed standoff on Interstate 95 halted traffic in Massachusetts.
After almost nine hours, 11 heavily armed suspects surrendered without incident and were arrested, according to CNN. The Associated Press reports that two of the suspects were hospitalized, but police said it was for preexisting conditions unrelated to the standoff.
The standoff began at around 1:30 a.m. when police encountered two vehicles in the breakdown lane of I-95 with their hazard lights on. The men in the vehicles wore tactical vests and military-style gear, carrying body cameras and a variety of long rifles and pistols.
