Birmingham PD Standoff

Pratt City

I was going to take a few shots of an MVA on the Northside when Birmingham's SWAT team responded to a standoff in Pratt City. There were units from Birmingham PD, Jefferson County SO, Alabama State Troopers and Birmingham Fire. I don't doubt that there were others but those were the only departments I saw. The perimeter was four blocks.




Below are some shots from the police line. The house was around the corner. I'll add some video to the front page when I get a chance to encode it.
