There was an unusual situation Saturday morning that caused a huge standoff on I-95 in Massachusetts, starting around 2 a.m. local time.
Police found two cars pulled over on the road, after they apparently ran out of gas, and stopped to assist them.
In the cars were 11 heavily-armed individuals with rifles and pistols in military-style tactical gear. The men told the police that they were going to Maine from Rhode Island for “training.” They claimed to be from a group that “doesn’t recognize our laws” and refused to put down their weapons or comply with the authorities, which started a standoff with the police, with some of them taking off into the surrounding woods.
Police initially said nine were taken into custody, but two additional suspects were located in their vehicles. Author: Associated Press Updated: 4:04 PM EDT July 3, 2021
WAKEFIELD, Mass. An hourslong standoff with a group of heavily armed men that partially shut down Interstate 95 ended Saturday with 11 suspects in custody, Massachusetts state police said.
The standoff shut down a portion of I-95 for much of the morning, causing major traffic problems during the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Authorities said the interstate is now reopened and the shelter-in-place orders for Wakefield and Reading were lifted.
The standoff began around 2 a.m. when police noticed two cars pulled over on I-95 with hazard lights on after they had apparently run out of fuel, authorities said at a Saturday press briefing.
