Man Found Dead in Sunset Ridge Apartment Building

UPDATE: Officers were dispatched to the Sunset Ridge Apartment complex on the 2100 block of Koch Drive for a welfare check Tuesday night.

While officers were knocking on the door they heard what they identified as a gunshot.

The SWAT team was paged and responded to the apartment building.

They entered the apartment and found a dead man.

The incident is under further investigation and there is no danger to the public.

The man's identity is not being released until he is identified and his family has been notified.

There is no evidence this death is of a suspicious nature.

ORIGINAL STORY: Tense moments occurred at a north Bismarck apartment building Tuesday evening.

Police evacuated a building at Sunset Ridge Apartment complex on Koch Drive around 7:30 p.m.

A SWAT team arrived and police sent a robot into the building.

Police say they were dealing with a situation and may have been looking for someone on the first floor.

An armored vehicle and agents in tactical gear surrounded the apartment.

Residents say they were surprised to see something like this happening in Bismarck.

"I didn't realize Bismarck had a truck like that, cause it's like what you see on news reports of Ferguson of the riots. They all have big black trucks and a whole bunch of gunners on top. I didn't even think Bismarck had something like that. It looked like a martial law scene or something. It was crazy," said Matthew Dockter, apartment complex resident.

Police started allowing people back into their apartments around 9 p.m.

Los Arboles Apartments - 17 Photos - Apartments - 201 4th St, Del Mar, Del Mar, CA - Phone Number

8 201 4th St Del Mar , CA 92014 (858) 481-9585 Been here for 5 months now. These are definitely old apartments; the floorplans aren't modern or laid out super efficiently. But if you want to live within line-of-sight to the ocean, this place is as affordable as it gets. The manager is hands-down one of the nicest dudes I've met and has been extremely accommodating to us. Although the property is old, it's clean and decently kept up. The pool and hot tub are nice. We're on the 2nd floor in a corner unit and it's been very quiet for us. We haven't had any issues with bugs or vermin of any sort; in fact, we keep our porch door wide open all day long so our kitties can get some fresh air. This results in maybe 1 fly per day inside. There are surfer trails very nearby that lead down the cliffs for beach access. Bottom line, if you're looking for luxury, don't live here. It's too old to ever be luxurious. But if you're looking for line-of-sight to t

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day
