Video appears to show barricade suspect surrendering to Greensboro police

Police were called to shots fired on Rotherwood Road between Bristol Road and Acorn Road. That's when an hours-long barricade situation began.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Greensboro neighborhood road reopened after an hours-long barricade situation Wednesday night. Police said the whole thing ended peacefully. 

Still, many neighbors had to evacuate the area, hoping the danger didn't escalate. 

Police said shots were fired on Rotherwood Road between Acord Road and Bristol Road. 

"It was very tense because different trucks were coming up. Different kinds of police and gear. I wasn't sure if she had other weapons in there and come out in a blaze of glory," a neighbor told WFMY News 2's Grace Holland. 

A Special Response Team and Hostage Negotiation team also responded to get the suspect to come out.

The neighbor captured video of what appears to be the suspect coming out of the home, surrendering to police.
