Sacramento police are responding to a call of a barricaded suspect who might have a hostage in the Tahoe Park neighborhood, according to authorities.
Police have not yet been able to confirm whether there is a hostage, but are taking all necessary precautions, said police spokeswoman Officer Michele Gigante.
Shortly before noon, an outside agency was involved in a vehicle pursuit when the vehicle crashed and the suspects fled, Gigante said.
At some point, one of the suspects was reported to be contained - its unclear whether in a house or some other structure - and possibly with a hostage in the area of 63rd Street and 2nd Avenue, Gigante said.

Edit: Here's another article on it. It looks like SWAT is responding now:

The man believed to have been barricaded in a Tahoe Park home today has surrendered peacefully this afternoon, city police said.
Police said they are still trying to ascertain if he is the motorist who fled from the California Highway Patrol and disappeared into a house on 64th Street moments after crashing his vehicle.

Seems this could end up like the Jack In The Box incident (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=91977.0) if there is a hostage inside. It just came through on the news, so I'll update this when I know more. It may just end as a small situation, or it could turn out like a couple of the past large ones. We'll have to wait and see.
