UPDATE: 2:20 pm: Suspect in custody

According to police officials, it appears that the incident stemmed from an earlier situation at the Shoprite on W. Edgar Road in Linden, but the details of what transpired there are still under investigation.

There was a pursuit that ended when the suspect crashed at Route 1 & S. Park Avenue at which he fled and entered the home.

Police say no one was injured in the crash.

It is unclear at this point if he knew the residents, although residents were evacuated from the 1st floor and neighboring houses.

The suspect is believed to be armed.

South Park Ave. remains closed between Route 1 & Grier Ave. Union County SWAT is on the scene and we are working toward a peaceful resolution of the conflicting police said.
