RANCHO CORDOVA—An early morning standoff between law enforcement and an armed man has prompted evacuations in a Rancho Cordova neighborhood Friday, following a domestic violence call that escalated into a high-risk situation.

According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and Rancho Cordova Police Officers initially responded just before 4 a.m. to a home on West La Loma Drive near Terra Loma Drive. The call was related to a report of domestic violence.

Upon arrival, authorities determined that a man believed to be armed had barricaded himself inside a residence. The man is reportedly alone in the home. Law enforcement quickly secured the area, and a large police presence, including SWAT units, responded to the active scene.

Police have established a perimeter with crime scene tape and have evacuated portions of the neighborhood out of an abundance of caution. No injuries have been reported as of Friday morning.

Authorities are urging residents to avoid the area while the situation remains ongoing. This is the second standoff for Rancho Cordova Police and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department in less than 24 hours.
