ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — The Adams County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) has identified the suspect in an hours-long barricade situation Sunday morning in a residence in the area of Federal Boulevard and West 55th Avenue.

Curtis Morisson, 31, was taken into custody after SWAT breached the residence sometime after 8 a.m. No injuries were reported, according to ACSO.

The incident began about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, when a resident of the home called 911 to report an assault and said the man was armed, according to an ACSO spokesman.

When deputies arrived on scene, the man went back into the residence and wouldn't come out. Deputies set up a perimeter and closed off Federal Boulevard to traffic between West 55th and West 56th avenues, ACSO said.

The person who called 911 was in the residence with the man, but ACSO did not consider it to be a hostage situation, the spokesman said.

At some point, the man fired a couple of shots in the direction of deputies, the spokesman said, who described them as "warning shots." No one was hit, he said.

ACSO put out a Reverse 911 call to residents in the area asking them to shelter in place, the spokesperson said.

The Colorado Department of Transportation said that as of 8:30 a.m. Sunday, all lanes of Federal Boulevard had reopened.
