Boston police arrested four men today after a tense standoff that lasted several hours at a white triple decker in Roxbury.
Officers rushed to the scene at 9:15 a.m. after a report of gunfire. Police said four suspects barricaded themselves inside the house on Langdon Street.
Police used a bullhorn to try to coax the men outside. At least a dozen members of the department's entry team, dressed in black tactical uniforms, stood poised near the entry of the home.
The four men were eventually pulled out of the basement and arrested.
Police identified the men as Jovanni Barbosa, 20, of Roxbury; Jason Barbosa, 18, of Roxbury; Ilton Correia, 23, of Roxbury and Alexander Cardoso, 21, of Quincy. They were each charged with breaking and entering in a dwelling during the daytime.
The incident remains under investigation.
