Police were on the scene of a barricade event that lasted all day Friday in the far northwest valley.

A carjacking became a barricade situation, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release.

The initial call came in just after 6:35 a.m. Friday in an area of U.S. Highway 95 northbound and Corn Creek Road.

SWAT was called to the area and officers were still in position around 9 p.m., but did not know if the suspect was still in a residence, said Lt. Miguel Ibarra.
