Algona, Auburn and Federal Way Police had their hands full Monday afternoon dealing with three suspects who had barricaded themselves and three hostages inside a home in the 200 block of Algona Boulevard South, and who allegedly fired shots at law enforcement, authorities said.

The incident ended at about 4:30 p.m. when authorities rescued the hostages and took the suspects into custody.

Kolby Crossley, public information officer for the Auburn Police Department, said he didn’t know if the suspects shot at a police officer or at police officers.

“A lot of police agencies responded,” Crossley said.
