The dangerous situation happened at around 8:45 a.m. in Port Chester on Saturday, Dec. 28, when a woman allegedly forced her way into a Weber Drive apartment while armed with a handgun, the Port Chester Police Department said on Sunday, Dec. 29.
While officers were en route, updated information revealed that the woman had gained entry, police said.
Upon arrival, officers evacuated the apartment’s occupants, except for one female resident and the suspect. Police then entered the room where the suspect, identified as 34-year-old Brooke Manderson of Elmsford, was located, according to the department.
