A Chicago police SWAT team responded Tuesday evening after Illinois State Police pursued a stolen vehicle to the Near North Side.
State police were following the stolen vehicle in the 1100 block of North Wells Street about 3:45 p.m. when four people got out and ran into a high-rise building, police said.
Hours later, three people were in custody and six guns, including at least two rifles, were recovered from the car, police said.
A fourth person escaped the building and was not in custody, according to police.
The standoff concluded by around 9:30 p.m., police said.
Surrounding streets — one block each of North Wells and West Division — were closed for the duration of the standoff.
