WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — A police standoff that started at 4 p.m. Tuesday at a Walla Walla trailer park was resolved peacefully early Wednesday afternoon.

Police were attempting to arrest the two gang members on outstanding warrants when they retreated inside a trailer and refused to come out. The 20-year-old is accused of a gang-related shooting last month, and a 23-year-old is accused of counterfeiting.

Police said both suspects were taken into custody, without incident, shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday.
