COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A shelter-in-place order was issued at about noon Thursday due to "significant law enforcement activity" in southeast Colorado Springs as deputies worked to arrest a "heavily armed" suspect.

One viewer near the scene told KRDO there appears to be one person barricaded inside a residence. The sheriff's office confirmed that they got a call about a suspect in the home at about 11 a.m.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said at 11:58 a.m. Thursday that people within a quarter-mile of 4000 Excursion Drive are asked to stay away from windows and doors.

By about 2 p.m., the suspect was taken into custody with no injuries. The sheriff's office confirmed the suspect has an active arrest warrant for domestic violence-related charges.

The suspect's name hasn't been released yet.
