The Memphis Police Department (MPD) had been responding to what has been described as an armed party call at the intersection of Lakeview Road and Winchester Road. The incident has led to a heavy police and SWAT team presence in the area, with parts of it being corded off to the public, as

reported.
Continuous efforts to manage the situation have moved into a second day now, evidenced by the persistent active scenes and prolonged barricade as of early this morning. According to

, officers first responded to the barricade near Winchester Road just before 7 p.m. yesterday.

With the urgency of real-time information, news outlets are maintaining a vigil, with crews stationed close to the police perimeter to update the public as information is released. This was confirmed by sightings of numerous MPD squad cars still on location as reported by
