FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A shooting suspect is still on the loose after a nearly five hour standoff at an apartment building on west Washington Boulevard.

According to our partners in News at 21Alive, streets were blocked off at 2:50 p.m. near the complex on Washington Blvd. near Van Buren St. An armed person was known to be inside, walking around in the building and firing shots.
