A man was arrested Friday following an hours-long standoff with police at a Leominster home where a woman was found dead, the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office announced Sunday night.
Leominster police were called to a home on Union Street shortly before 3 p.m. by a 911 caller, the district attorney’s office said in a press release. An hours-long standoff ensued, during which Massachusetts State Police detectives, tactical operatives, K-9 officers and crisis negotiators also responded.
Police eventually arrested the man, and then found the woman dead inside the home, the district attorney’s office said. The suspect is set to be arraigned on charges connected to the woman’s death in Leominster District Court on Monday.
“Due to the domestic nature of this incident, no additional information will be released at this time,” the district attorney’s office wrote in the release.
Leominster police and the district attorney’s office are still investigating the woman’s death.
