Portions of Government Plaza remain on lockdown this morning following what appears to be a possible suicide intervention outside the downtown Mobile government building.
Portions of Government Plaza remain on lockdown early Monday afternoon as police negotiated with an armed, “incoherent,” suicidal and possibly wounded man parked outside the downtown Mobile government building.
“Officers backed away from the scene and we called in the SWAT teams and a negotiator,” said Frazier, adding that it’s “unknown at this time if he shot himself or if someone else shot him.”“For the safety of ourselves and others, we are working to get him removed from the vehicle safely.” Prine said police were dealing with an armed man threatening suicide. “We do know who the individual is, in the vehicle. We do believe he is injured. To what extent he is injured, we don’t know,” he said.
“I would think at this point somebody would have called something in,” he said. “We don’t have any information to suggest anybody else.” She did not know if shots had been fired at that time. She said as far as she knew, the incident had taken place entirely outside Government Plaza. That was good in part, she said, because at that time people would still have been on their way into court.Sharee Broussard, a spokeswoman with the Mobile County Commission, said that people inside the building are able to move around it and have since been able to enter and exit the Joachim Street side.
