1 injured in Golden Gate Drive standoff

Police said a person was taken to the hospital.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro police are investigating an aggravated assault after a person was sent to the hospital Friday after a standoff on Golden Gate Drive. 

Police said the person has non-life threatening injuries.

It started early in the morning and lasted several hours. Police said they were trying to get a barricaded person to come out of a home. 

Police, Guilford County EMS, the CSI unit, and a Special Response Team all responded to the scene. 

The standoff shut down Golden Gate Drive from State Street to Church Street, as well as other nearby roads. All roads have since opened back up. 

WFMY News 2 crews were at the scene while the standoff was unfolding. Law enforcement officials could be heard over megaphones telling the barricaded person to come outside with their hands up. 

Police said the standoff is over, but they haven't said anything more about the barricaded person.
