The situation began to unfold in the early morning hours Saturday, July 3 on the stretch of I-95 in Wakefield, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As a result, I-95 was shut down between Lynnfield and Stoneham. Authorities initially had taken two of the suspects in military-style uniforms into custody after they were observed refueling their vehicle in Wakefield overnight. The others fled into the woods, starting the standoff, authorities said. Just before 11 a.m., Saturday, Massachusetts State Police said, seven other suspects on the highway were taken into custody by MSP Special Tactical Operations Team and "are being transported for booking."
