Police in Massachusetts shut down both sides of I-95 in Wakefield Saturday morning, after a group of heavily-armed men refused to comply with law enforcement officers following a traffic stop.
Eleven men armed with rifles and handguns exited a vehicle during the stop and claimed to be from a group “that does not recognize our laws” and headed into a wooded area.
The group of men told officers they were headed from Rhode Island to Maine “for training.”
Residents in Wakefield and Reading were advised to lock their doors and shelter in place.
Massachusetts State Police apprehended all eleven suspects.
