Fairfield police have asked @KCRANews
to stop streaming the tactical positions of their officers during the standoff on I-80. KCRA is rebroadcasting a live feed from @KTVU’s news helicopter.

Update: KCRA is ignoring requests by @FairfieldPolice, producer tells helicopter pilot to show end of pursuit & traffic backup during 4 PM newscast, according to radio traffic we're picking up. Solano NewsNet @SolanoNewsNet
(KCRA is, at this point, using their own helicopter on the scene.)

UPDATE: Police and CHP have numerous patrol vehicles and at least one armored vehicle on the scene. Appears someone is using a drone to look into the car where a potentially-armed driver is engaged in a standoff.
UPDATE: Fairfield police are moving their tactical radio traffic to an encrypted channel, the first time we've heard a Solano County law enforcement agency make use of an encrypted radio feed.

UPDATE: Fairfield police have set up a command post at the Solano County Library along the 5000 block of Business Center Drive, where they are staging equipment and personnel associated with the freeway. #Fairfield#CHPSolano#Cordelia#I80#I680#SolanoCounty#SFBA#Traffic
Further updates here: https://www.forth.news/threads/6635707751a7e748e016fc69. Hope it resolves OK. Traffic is a mess in city streets locally. I imagine the effect of it being closed for over an hour now will have far reaching effects into neighboring counties. Bad time for any natural disasters.
Standoff over.

UPDATE: Westbound lanes of I-80 are reopening. The northbound I-680 transition to eastbound and westbound I-80 is reopening.
Eastbound I-80 lanes remained closed.
