UPDATE: Police: Standoff ends at Colorado Springs home

UPDATE

Police report that the standoff situation is now over.

As many as eight people were inside the house when the situation began Christmas morning. It is not clear if they were being held against their will.

They all left the building peacefully, after speaking with law enforcement personnel over the phone.

“There was conflicting information about what was occurring in the home. So we always err on the side of caution for the safety of the people inside the home,” said Sgt. Mike Singels with Colorado Springs Police.

No suspect is in custody at this time, and no weapons were found inside the home.

No one was hurt.
