A law enforcement standoff involving a possibly armed person forced the closure of a busy Carlsbad roadway.
According to Carlsbad Police, at around 9:45 p.m. Thursday, officers were called to the 2700 block of Loker Avenue due to “a potentially armed person experiencing a mental health crisis.”

Additionally, all businesses on Loker Avenue West, from Palomar Airport Road to 2762 Loker Avenue West, “are temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution,” police stated.
