One resident of the View Vista apartments, who asked not to be identified, shared what she has seen develop on-scene in Livingston, regarding the "tense situation."
UPDATE: FEB. 4 AT 4 A.M.
After two days, Park County Sheriff Brad Bichler said the armed standoff at View Vista came to an end. According to the Park County Sheriff s Office (PCSO), Marfuta was wounded by law enforcement.Â
Law enforcement spent two days trying to convince Marfuta to surrender. These types of incidents are rate but high risk to the subject, to Law Enforcement and to the public, Bichler said. I appreciate the communities support and understanding. It allowed us to use time to our advantage. Unfortunately, Mr. Marfuta made the decision several times to try and shoot us. When Deputies feel there is an immediate threat to themselves or the public they have a duty to stop that threat.
