We just took a trip to see if for ourselves and even though the helicopter isn't hovering over the Puckett residential area of Amarillo anymore, the standoff with an armed man on the 3500 block of Carlton Drive continues.  The vast majority of the Puckett area is open, they have the main blocks surrounding the house that the man entered blocked off and access to those blocks will remain restricted until further notice.

APD just released the following at 3:26pm:

"APD is continuing to search the home in the 3500 block of Carlton for a burglary  suspect.  The male was seen in the home, but has not come out despite repeated efforts to contact him by telephone and by loudspeaker.  At this point, APD is investigating six burglaries or attempted burglaries in the immediate area of the address.  The owner of the home on Carlton was not at home when the suspect entered after he was seen running from one of the previous crimes.  The 3500 block of Carlton remains closed to traffic."

As the situation continues I'll definitely keep you posted!  Tommy the Hacker is in the area now and reports that he heard "several pops, sounded like gun shots and there are officers on the roof of a house".  He believes they are not on the house that the suspect is in, but the house next to it or behind it because they're focusing their eyes in a certain direction and not at the house they're standing on.

Here's some more photos we captured.
