May 9 (UPI) -- A man accused of shooting and injuring three Syracuse, N.Y., police officers surrendered without incident Saturday after an hours-long standoff in the city, authorities said.
The suspect surrendered to police at 3:15 p.m. Saturday, nine hours after barricading himself in an apartment complex on the city's south side, Syracuse Police Chief Chief Mark Rusin told reporters.
The man's arrest came after he allegedly fired shots at officers who had formed a perimeter around the building, hitting two of them in the arm and another in the hand, the chief said.
"They're in stable condition," he said. "Most of the injuries are to their arms, to their hands, but they are in stable condition and they're with their families right now, so the officers are okay."
The incident began at 6:30 a.m. with a call to police about a man with a machete menacing people and a dog and escalated from there.
