Reports on Twitter are mixed. Some say that the police are standing down, that the hostage situation has concluded. Others are saying the FBI has moved in and are taking over.
In #Yountville the hostage situation appears to be concluded. Mass departure by law enforcement. What happened? Awaiting official word. #abc7now
Several vehicles leaving still-active scene at #Yountville#VA#PathwayHome. @nbcbayarea has unconfirmed source report that FBI is stepping in.

If the FBI kills that guy they might be biting more off than they can chew. I’m not joking. The VA cut him off his Meds and the military crowd is ready to go to war.
Can’t help but hearken back to Las Vegas mass shooting and the radio silence that followed thanks to the FBI.
I don’t believe anything they say.
Appreciate all the local info Brad.👍
Funny thing is no news outlet is releasing this guys name but all the IG warrior sights seem to know exactly who it is.
I’m smelling Bundy part 2.
He just killed the hostages and himself. Or the FBI killed everyone. I feel like an asshole for typing something like that but I don’t trust anybody in these situations anymore. Any way you cut it, a very sad ending.
Damn. I was really hoping someone could reach this guy; I guess he was at the end of his rope. What a sad waste of lives.
I bet the anti-gun and anti-military vultures are already circling.
