Mason said Massachusetts police are still learning about the Rise of the Moors group.
Saturday’s incident occurred close to Exit 57 on I-95 in Wakefield and ended with the arrests of all 11 people, but exact charges had not yet been released.
Police initially reported nine suspects were taken into custody, but two more were taken into custody in their vehicle later Saturday morning, according to AP.
Two suspects were hospitalized, but police said it was for preexisting conditions that had nothing to do with the standoff.
Mason said the suspects surrendered after police tactical teams used armored vehicles to tighten the perimeter around them.
