A man surrendered to police after police negotiated with him for more than an hour, causing Lake Shore Drive near Buckingham Fountain to be blocked downtown.
Authorities were called to the 500 block of South Lake Shore Drive about 5:05 p.m. because of a man in a vehicle parked on Queen’s Landing, east of the road, according to police. Police received calls from people concerned about the man after he started broadcasting live on social media.
A SWAT team negotiated with the man, who did not threaten other people, and he gave himself up about 6:40 p.m.
Lake Shore Drive was blocked in both directions between Jackson and Balbo drives during the incident.
