A suspect is in custody after FBI agents and military police responded Sunday to a 7-hour-long "barricade situation" at the U.S. Army's Fort Belvoir, Virginia, officials said.
The suspect was taken into custody shortly before 3 p.m. after officials initially responded to a home at 8 a.m., D.C. outlet WUSA9 reported.
