A woman armed with a gun brought traffic on Interstate 45 to a standstill Thursday afternoon after a crash led to a standoff with Harris County deputies near Cypresswood Drive. After crashing and being pulled over, she reportedly refused commands, sat in the roadway in a lawn chair, and held a gun to her head. This prompted a full emergency response, including negotiators and a family member being called to the scene to help resolve the situation. The ongoing incident caused major traffic disruptions, shutting down both northbound and southbound lanes of I-45.
