An active standoff is taking place Wednesday night on Old Taylor Road.

Officers with the Oxford Police Department arrived at The Mark Condominiums at approximately 7:20 p.m., following reports of a domestic dispute.

Upon arrival, an eyewitness heard officers directing an individual involved in the situation to “put the gun down.”

The individual did not comply, resulting in heavy police presence on the scene. The officers set a perimeter and are currently in a standoff with the individual in the apartment.
