A SWAT situation has been going on since mid-afternoon on the Barton Creek Greenbelt near 360 and Mopac. APD says a man with a gun is threatening suicide. All Mopac southbound lanes are closed from 290/71 to 360, and KXAN posted to Twitter that the Mopac northbound lanes will be closed soon at 360. If you know an alternate way to get down south instead of Mopac, you might want to take it. [Statesman]
