SAN JOSE (CBS SF) — A police standoff with a reportedly despondent man on U.S. Highway 101 shut down the freeway at Alum Rock Avenue in San Jose in both directions for hours until the man fled that scene and was eventually detained.
The 511.org Twitter account first posted about the police activity at 1:20 p.m., initially saying that southbound lanes of the freeway were closed.

Shortly after 2 p.m., CHP reported that police activity on northbound and southbound U.S. 101 south of Alum Rock Avenue had closed all lanes. Northbound traffic is being diverted off the freeway onto Alum Rock Avenue, while southbound traffic is exiting at McKee Road.
So far, no information has been provided as far as what triggered the police activity or the nature of the incident, though some people were saying it was a police standoff on social media.
There were reports that CHP and a San Jose police negotiator were speaking with a man who had pulled over to the side of 101 and was emotionally disturbed.
Sometime after 3 p.m., the suspect drove his vehicle off the freeway and into the residential neighborhood around the Alum Rock exit with officers following him.
After driving around the area for 20 to 30 minutes, the suspect was stopped and surrounded by officers with guns drawn in a parking. He eventually surrendered to authorities.
CHP confirmed that Highway 101 had reopened as of 3:48 p.m. Drivers should expect some residual delays.
UPDATE: Residual Delays on Northbound and Southbound US-101 South of Alum Rock Ave in San Jose. All Lanes Open.
